Hey Jennibearrrr, I too also have Crohn's and I just wanted to say your such a strong person for the way that you are handling this. I understand the long recovery time and sometimes it feels like it will never end but it does get better. I would guess my questions for you are how long have you been dealing with your condition and what helped you get through the hard times? For example I had a feeding tube at one point because I wasn't able to keep anything down and the one thing that kept me going through that all was my mother at my bedside keeping my hopes up with her encouraging words.

First off yeah I am doing much better and it is a sneaky little bugger. It likes to creep up when you least expect it but I was able to get mine under control and you will too but it will just take time. Second that is absolutely fantastic that you have such a strong support system in place. Family was the main thing that kept me going as well. As for the boyfriend though he sounds like an extremely great guy and someone that was meant for you. Keep him around because its not very often when you will find someone who is that caring. I just want to wish you the best of luck on your road to recovery because you seem like such a strong person and the huge support system you have will only make it easier.

How are the students, faculty, and community coping with everything that has happened?
