Thank you for the support, everyone. It'll be day by day and extremely hard, but I'll have to do my best living life without him, he would want that. He was my first love, someone I will NEVER forget....
His brain damage is too severe and is irriversible. They still don't know exactly what caused this, getting conflicting stories. Now apparently he didn't have sepsis. They think it was something with...
Just wanted to thank you all for helping me through this and giving me all the advice when I thought this was just a bad flare. I wanted to let you all know, despite how scary this is, that this...
They took him to the nearest hospital, it's a Virtua. Right now they can't take him anywhere else since he's not completely stable. They're easing him off life support or are trying to. Initially...
They're having trouble stabilizing him. Doctor said things aren't good. He's bleeding internally but can't do a scope to see where exactly the bleeding because he isn't stabilized. A surgeon came in...
I'm still in ICU, he's still out and they now have him getting a scan to see if he's got internal bleeding. The doctor said he'd be very lucky to get out of this and they said the colitis got much...
Things are dire now. He says when he passes stool it hurts and gets even hotter, there is blood, too. He was incredibly hot and sat in the tub for a little (with cold water). Even then he got no...
Thanks everyone, will look into those. Live in the US on the East coast, where can I pick those things up, or is it something I have to order online? (The Gt's synergy and Prescript assist) This...
Agreed. Confused the hell out of me. I just trusted the doctor's words against my own thoughts. With that said, is there any alternative medicine he can take besides Mesalamine if this turns out to...
I've been chewing (or maybe re-chewing) on the thought that this might be Mesalamine intolerance. It just makes sense, he didn't get severe flaring symptoms until right after he started taking it....
Which is funny, I theorized this in the hospital, as did his mother and the doctors there just kept insisting that it's only the colitis doing its thing. He's starting to feel depressed, tired of...
Thanks for the advice everyone! So far, as I've said, the day has been going with optimism. He's still clearly not 100% and is still in bed a lot with very little energy. He's still having hot...
The enema he used to take was Gavis, the more recent one is Perrigo (which I think is a generic of Rowasa?) I was also looking into Remicade, I've heard people have had great success with it, and...
Oops, forgot one thing. Colonoscopy results showed it's all over the colon now and is probably Pancolitis....
Hi there, everyone! I'm new to this, meaning both the forum and UC itself, so forgive me if I'm missing any important information. There is a lot going on here, so I'll try to condense it all to get...
