Thank you for your kind words. I am a permanent ostomate now so I don't have any flare-ups from UC anymore which is helpful. My hubby and I are pretty healthy these days because we feel better. :)

I am sorry you had to see your mom suffer through the last nine months. I feel for the support people as it must be very hard to see and not be able to help with the pain and frustration. I am sure she appreciated all your help.
