Today was quite an eventful day. Taylor went to visit the Gastrointestinal doctor about his Crohn's. The doctor explained there were various kinds of medications that heal specific parts of the intestines. So if they can locate the exact spot of the Crohn's, they can give him a specific medication that will not affect the rest of his body. This is good! Some of the medications shut down the immune system but help the Crohn's. That is why it is important to localize the Crohn's.
Bright and early tomorrow morning Taylor has a colonoscopy. Later in the afternoon he has a ct scan of his lower abdomen. He can not eat until 3pm Friday afternoon when all tests are complete. Not fun, but the doctor's should find all the information they need.
Also, Taylor had his forth Plasma Exchange today. It went well. He is now seeing the color yellow in his left eye versus dark gray/black. We are assuming this is a sign of improvement. Yellow is better than black! He is getting tired of being poked and prodded, but really wants to get better.
We pray that his health and eye sight continues to improve.
