Prayers needed

Well, I just spent ten days in the hospital. My Crohn's disease is flaring up pretty badly, and... I've had to withdraw from school for the rest of the spring semester. The neatest thing is that I was able to do the 'camera pill endoscopy,' or whatever it's called: the pill that has the camera in it, that takes pictures throughout your small intestine. I takes a picture every three seconds!! But it did show a pretty large area where the Crohn's is back. I've been so sick this past month with partial obstructions, increased diarrhea, vomitting, etc. Had a Remicade infusion while I was in & my GI doc says we'll start doing the Remicade every eight weeks, now that the Crohn's is back so badly.

This is such a downer for me. I'm hoping and praying that this will just be a small 'break,' for me, as far as school goes, but you all are so wonderful, I thought I would ask you to keep my family and myself in your prayers. I have the most wonderful husband in the world & he's been working his a** off, taking care of me, taking care of our 3 year old, and doing his best to keep the house at least clean!

I was doing so well! No problems with the Crohn's until first part of February, when I started having partial obstructions again. Any prayers are appreciated. You are all so wonderful! Thank you!

Prayers are with you. I know you will get better soon. I myself had Ulcerative Colitis for six years with ups and downs. I had a colectomy in 1999 and I have been doing good since then.

My prayers are with you,

My prayers are with you. I agree with all the other posters, as frustrating as this must be for you and your husband, school will still be there. Take care of yourself and your family.

Hope you are feeling better soon. Lots of us have had to stop school for a short time for one reason or another, so don't get discouraged. Thoughts and prayers for your health and well being.

Goodness! Prayer coming your way :kiss

Hang in there ... take this time to care for yourself (body & mind.) Don't think about school right now -- your body doesn't need the stress. Enjoy your toddler -- you can read and read and read to him while you are recuperating. A supportive husband (who cleans!), a beautiful toddler -- you have so much to be grateful for. Relax, take care of yourself, and continue to focus on your well-being. Prayers to you.

Keep your head up high! Take care of yourself before worrying about anything else!! You are in my thoughts and prayer's!!

Missed this thread until today.Hope you start to feel better soon.

Hugs and best wishes to you.

Prayers going out for you. May the lord bless you and protect you.
