Finally heard from the surgeon. Edwyn is out and went through it okay. It will be a couple of days before they get results from the samples they took, but the surgeon observed that he had enlarged lymphnodes and an "enthickened intestinal wall". He thinks Ed has some kind of disease of the intestine.
He says Ed is on a Narcotic drug now to help with the pain. I hope he's okay.
Thank you, thank you for your support. It is the only thing keeping me sane.
