I know this belongs in "general", but most of my friends usually stay in "cats". I hope you don't mind.

I just got my call from my GI regarding the smaller intestine xray and blood work.

Blood tests revealed high antibodies for Inflamatory Bowel Disease (he said Crohn's). When testing for Gluten (possible Celiac Disease) one of the numbers was very high, over 100, when 10 is the norm.

The barium xray last week was fine.

My next step IS a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I'm going in on the 26th at 11:45 and they will do both. He said they would sedate me...thank goodness. I want to be in la la land, not knowing anything they are doing.

Like I've said before...I'm really more scared for the endoscopy, that really freaks me out. But, as I told God in the dressing room after my xray last week, "If you want me to go through more test, you'll have to get me through them." I know He will only give me what I can handle. But, I need your prayers and well wishes.

If anyone has had the endoscopy done, would you PM me? I need reassurance that I'll be OK.

Thank you so much!

Love, Kelly
