Tyson Visits the New Hospital

They opened a brand new hospital in Murray and Tyson thought it would be fun to pay the doctors and staff a visit. He's been having some problems with swollowing food and had an endocscope today. The procedure is same day surgery and everything went well. Tyson decided he wasn't a fan of IV needles or surgery in general. We were proud of his bravery -he's such a good boy.

They determined that he has reflux that has caused some scarring in the esophogus which blocks food traveling to the stomach. They also took some biopsies to rule out more serious problems that can sometimes exist. They will put him on a regimine of acid blockers which should fix the problem. The downside is he'll have to take the medication in perpetuity. Following are some pictures of his big day.
