For the past few month's, Nate's been having stomach pains. It's gradually gotten worse to the point that he will hold his stomach, crying in pain because of the severity. We'd taken him to the doctor about a month ago and they tried to put him on some medicine, thinking it might be acid reflux. The medicine didn't help so they sent us to a specialist. Three weeks later, we got in (the other specialists were looking at 3 months out). Nate had a two hour appointment there yesterday where they poked and prodded and drew some blood. The Doctor threw out things from an ulcer all the way to stomach cancer. The end result is they've scheduled him for an esophagogastroduodenscopy (upper endoscopy) a week from Friday. They knock him out, run a camera down his throat and take some tissue biopsys.
