Endoscopy?

David's hemoglobin dropped 2.5% in a day so it looks like there is definitely a GI bleed.  He is on a clear diet and gets broth and apple juice through his feeding tube.  He is off the blood thinner for now and on a reduced LaSIX regemin.  His urine output is being measured and recorded.  It is still high so the fluid retention should be abating.  Tomorrow morning it looks like the endoscopy will be evaluated.  His mouth opening is much less wide that most due to his surgeries and radiation.  His lungs appear to be clear with a chronic (residual) area that today's Doctor did not call pneumonia.  I got here about 11 and Rabbi Weisblatt was here.  Than and Katya came by en route to a beer and cook-out on Lake Anne in Reston and Jeff is on his way from BWI en route back home to OK.  David tried to watch the Global Public Square that we can play on my iPad Pro but he fell assleep and I turned it off.  He is napping peacefully and has his hearing aids off.  It is really quiet here and I hope he gets some good rest.
In other news the upstairs dryer is not producing heat.  Luckily there is a downstairs dryer that is producing heat.
