Another Day of Me and Maybe More?

Originally this blog was started to help me process every thing I was going through with my stem cell transplant. Then after it all calmed down, i stopped writing. I automatically assumed I had nothing anyone would want to hear.

Im learning now, I need to write for me and in the process, I hope someone reads and relates. My greatest wish is that someone can learn from my journey, from my pain, and it can help them. We all know Crohn's doesn't just affect the body, but it alters the mind as well. Sometimes all we need is someone else who gets it. You know, REALLY GETS IT!

I hope that as I start back writing more often, God will give me the words that you may need to hear.

As for today, remember you are special and loved. Crohnies United!

Another day, another hospital

I went in for my iron iv infusion and ended up in the er. They wouldnt give me my infusion because of my abdominal pain and bronchitis.  Like all of us with crohn's, we know it acts up when we get sick on any way. Little did I know, my lungs are in good shape. My small intestine is not.

My Crohn's has always been in my large intestine,  never entering my small intestine whatsoever.  A CT scan a few months ago indicated some inflammation in my ileum.  However, it was not mentioned in the endoscopy and colonoscopy I had immediately following so I thought no more of it. After my ct scan tonight,  it showed it has worsened.  In other words, theyre suspecting my Crohn's has spread. Fortunately,  we are catching it in time I think. The doctor looked worried, but he's just the ER doctor, not my GI.  But I do have to immediately see my GI for a course of treatment.  I dont know what it will be yet.

I went in for iron, I get more inflammation lol such is my life! 

Im honestly not worried it's anything bad, and my Crohn's is actually still in remission but with my past, there's a bit of anxiety that it's more or going to be more. But it's in God's hands now and all i can do is get my game plan and go!

Say a prayer and if each of you do, I know its going to be A okay! :)

Have a wonderful day world!

Keeping you posted!
