Daddy has a tummy too!

Well daddy castro has a little something in his tummy.  Today I left work early because Nelson had to get an endoscopy.  He had to go under for about 40 minutes and he never received anesthesia before.  Luckily he handled it very well.  Apparently it was the "Michael Jackson milk," you know the stuff that helped MJ go to sleep.  Nelson said that all he remembered was saying "I think I'm starting to feel it." and then he woke up in a different room.

I went to meet with him and the doc and she said that he had a little smorgasbord of things going on in there, but nothing completely terrible.  Here's what they found:
- a small hiatus hernia
- schatzki's ring
- gastritis
- mild furrowing of the esophageal mucosa

Hmmmm I don't really know what all of that is but the doctor took the time to explain everything and the biopsies should be back in a week or so.

This was Nelson's face when I saw him - looks like he was happy and just had a nice nap.  He told the nurse who removed his IV - "you know, not many people get to nap during the day. it's nice."

Afterwards, we met up with our friend Mike for dinner at a local diner.  Nelson actually didn't have any throat issues after or any side effects, just loopy Nelson and that's kind of normal :)

So hopefully Nelson will be better soon, after some medication and change in eating habits.  No more acid stuff - boooo no chili!

On another note, do you notice his mustache? He's growing it out for Movember.  He will register for his own page, but in case you didn't know what it was all about:


During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

Have a happy evening! We're gonna get ready for bed now (it's 7:30).  Hey, I have NO problem with that :)
