Jon vomited some more blood around midnight at which point they repeated the Tagged Red Cell Study. Looks like this time they were able to find a suspicous area in his small intestine. They are going to repeat the CT angiogram this morning concentrating on that area. In doing so, they should be able to find the bleed and repair it. Alleluia, Keep your prayers and positive thoughts coming that this is finally it!

He's still receiving blood transfusions (9 pints so far) but hemoglobin and hematocrit are staying stable. They have also been giving him dilauded every 4 hours which keeps him dopey but comfortable.
