Sunday update...

Medical staff decided to do another endoscopy today, and also to put the scope through the stoma - just to see if they could get any further explanation for the night time bleeds my Dad has had over the past week. What they found was just a very small irritation in the lining of the bowel, and so they hope that it'll be only a matter of time until it will heal itself. They suspect that it isn't actually bleeding heavily, but it probably only oozing slowly, and the blood seems to be collecting in the bowel and then flooding. The doctors are aware that there could be more bleeding until this heals, but these night time bleeds have been exhausting for my Dad and we're really hoping and praying that his body can rest and that he can get a good night's sleep.
