I just lost a very good friend (not to the Crohns I hasten to add... to a drunk driver). She developed the illness at about 5 and, apart from a couple of hospital admissions, managed very well with diet, meds and exercise. She left two beautiful sons - both of whom recently completed degrees - and a grand-daughter; none of whom have the illness. With your help and his own strength and determination, your little angel has everything he needs to control and master it.

I rarely post, but something prompted me to write today (Dawn was always pushy like that :-) ). Don't ever lose the hope, somethimes its all any of us have.
