Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Also known as an upper endoscopy, Henry's doctors will be using an instrument of thin flexible tubing with a light source on the end to look at his esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. If needed, they will take tissue samples or, if found, they will remove small growths. Henry will get a sedative, most likely via an IV in his hand. The procedure lasts an hour with an additional one to two hours for recovery.

We're thinking good thoughts for Henry today. As I said yesterday, I'm willing to bet this morning's procedure was tougher on you parents than on the little guy himself. Treat yourselves to some yummy treats once you're home!
Good luck to you and to Mr. Henry! I'm thinking about him today.
