Crohn's Disease
How old is your granddaughter? Our youngest son, now 30, was diagnosed at 17 years old and was hospitalized 4 times, about once per year for the first years. He takes Remicaid infusions and has been doing well for quite some time. He plays recreational soccer in Raleigh, jogs, and has done the Raleigh triathalon. He is married with a 3-year-old son and a 6-month-old daughter. He has never been in total remission, which I pray will come, but if he feels okay, nothing stops him! I do hope your granddaughter gets to that point.

Makes me smile. Great job!

This is a pretty quilt. I have a daughter with Crohns she has had it all her life and about 15 surgeries. so I feel for you and your grand daughter, God bless

Haley was diagnosed about a year ago and has been in hospital 3 times so far-once for 2 weeks.She gets Remicaid infusions also.She has not been in remission but is kinda managed at this time.I stay with her in hospital so her mom can work.
