Pretty busy day so far. Started with checkin at 7:15; then Shawn saw his primary doctor and got his schedule.
Today:
- primary doctor
- 9:20 blood tests
- 10:00 allergy tests
- 1:00 pulmonary function with methacholine
- 2:20 electrocardiogram
Tuesday:
- 2:30 colonoscopy (unfortunately, this means that as of 2:30 today, he's on a clear liquid diet until this is over)
Wednesday:
- 7:15 6 hour blood pressure
- 10:00 pulmonary function lab for a home overnight test
- 1:15 endocrinology consultation
- 2:45 neurology consultation
Thursday:
- 8:15 ear/nose/throat consultation
Friday:
- 2:15 asthma/allergy clinic
Final consultation for allergy/asthma is for the moment scheduled for next Tuesday and then a final appointment with his primary doctor also on Tuesday.
However, they have a system here where if you have at least two free hours, you can try to go to an appointment early; if he can do that Thursday and Friday, he may be able to get finished by the end of this week instead of having to wait till next Tuesday.
His doctor here commented on the write-up that he got from his Chicago doctor - said it was great and he wished all doctors would do something like that.

Sounds like a busy week. I hope all goes smoothly and that you are able to finish as early as possible. And even more, I hope that you get some good answers.
For what it's worth, I've had several family members visit Mayo over the years. They all got excellent treatment, so I am sure you will get the same.
Take care,
Wow! That sure is a lot of doctor time Shawn is getting. As overwhelming as that might get, what a good opportunity to get some great brains together on Shawn's situation. I'm praying for answers, solutions, strength and courage.
