Dan had his procedures today and they found no bleeding, no ulcers, no anything. They decided the passing blood must be from the nosebleed or the old red blood cells passing. He recovered well from the scopes and then enjoyed a big dinner: lasagne, breadstick, salad, spice cake, iced tea, protein shake, and milk. The ENT doctor will probably remove the nasal packing tomorrow, wish they could have done it today while he was under anesthesia, but they felt it needs one more day to be sure it doesn't start bleeding again. His INR count is up, meaning his blood is clotting well, so hopefully this will be an uneventful procedure without much pain.
So we look forward to moving to Rehab sometime this week! Thank you so much for your prayers.
God also answered our prayers - Dan is doing so well mentally. This came about right when the "mother of all nose bleeds" happened. Not sure why these two happened together, but isn't it just like God to answer our prayers in ways we never could imagine? And he has hope again, now that he knows he is going to Rehab and will be discharged from the hospital soon.
"Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!" (Psalm 42-5-6a NLT),
