Hi all,
It's been a very long time since I've posted; I'm shocked I remembered my log-in! But my illnesses make it hard to sit at a computer and type so I rarely do it anymore.
Anyway, I'm once again reminded of the seriousness of Crohn's disease this weekend when a teenage patient died suddenly while visiting her grandparents near us. Though I don't know all the circumstances in this case, I know many of us who have been fighting this disease have had our near-death experiences and know it's a hard battle with casualties along the way, and sadly, quite young ones at times.
I just hope those in our communities who watch us suffer will get a better understanding of how dangerous a battle we wage daily. And have more understanding and compassion.
God bless this family. -Joy
