Poor Joe finally had his endoscopy today. He's been on a liquid diet in anticipation of having it each day since admittance. They were waiting for his INR to get low enough to do it. They were really afraid of a massive bleed if there was anything to cauterize, biopsy, etc., since he has had a great deal of recent bleeding.
The procedure showed nothing drastic, just a polyp in his stomach which was snared and cauterized. They're usually benign in the stomach,. And there was some irritation, so they upped his Protonix.
He will go back on Heparin tonight, and we'll see if there is any bleeding from it.
He's looking forward to solid food tomorrow.
