On Tuesday, March 8th, Sarah had her appointment with the ears, nose and throat specialist for a check up and to find out the results of her CAT scan from the previous week.
After asking Sarah several questions about how she was feeling, the doctor put a scope down her nostril in order to get a good view of her esophagus. I felt bad for Sarah, as I knew that this procedure could not be comfortable.
The doctor looked into the scope for a minute and then asked me to step over in order to view it for myself. After a quick explanation from the doctor, I could clearly see Sarah’s red and inflamed vocal cords. After seeing how badly her cords were swollen, I could understand more clearly why she has been suffering from discomfort and shortness of breath.
Sarah was given a prescription in order to limit the acid that was probably the culprit in irritating the vocal cords, and was told that it could be a month or more before she would be feeling better.
The doctor also felt what he thinks may be a nodule on Sarah’s thyroid. An Ultrasound has been scheduled for the 21st of this month in order to determine whether or not there is something there.
As for me, my headaches have not been coming as often in the last several days, and I am thankful for this. I appreciate those that have communicated to me that they have been praying.
Walt, want you to know I’ll keep Sarah in prayer as well. I am thankful you are doing as well as you are. Won’t be long now before Jeni and I are back in Michgan…April 24th. I’ve been thinking about Room of Grace and pray that it continues to bless the lives of the men. Stay in touch.
