An update on Lou

It has been a tough week since Lou entered the hospital. He came home from Saint Elizabeth in Boardman on saturday afternoon and was back in at Salem Community by 9pm that night. MRI showed nothing. So he sat in that hospital until 12:30am this morning when they transprted him to the Cleveland Clinic. Supposedly there is a very good specilaist there who is going to do a scope down his throat and then possibly a colonoscopy as well. The worst part is that this has basically been a waiting game. They say they are going to run this test or that test and it takes two days to get done. Then you have to wait all day and all night for any results. It's a joke!
So far the doctors only speculate what could be wrong. His regular doctor thinks he might have some scarring or some type of partial blockage somewhere in his digestinal tract. Which could be causing him to bloat and cramp when he eats. He says now they give him pain meds every two hours so it has become more painful to him.
If anyone can spare some good thoughts or prayers for Lou.....we should could use them!
