Crohn's Crisis 2013

Last fall I started flaring between remicade treatments , and I kept hoping it would be a temporary thing.
This month the flare grew more serious than before until I was pale and extremely fatigued from losing blood. I taught school all week feeling bad and had my blood drawn Thursday, but my dr and nurse were out on Friday, so I stayed in bed miserable all weekend. Rob insisted on the ER on Monday morning and it was good because my blood was down to 8.6 with 12 being normal. I was admitted shortly after being given some nausea and pain meds. Then when I got to the room, I had to start prep for a CT scan. That came back showing a possible progression from my colon to where it connects to the small intestine. I was already leaning toward surgery since my blood test showed it was UC and not Crohns. A colostomy will cure UC but Crohns can continue to spread past the surgical site into other parts of the digestive system. Tonight, I just finished my colon prep. In a few hours we will do my scope and see what's going on. Im praying that I am a candidate for surgery and we can go ahead and end this. I know this is fully in Gods hand, so I believe he will intervene if surgery is not right for me. Most of all, I'm just thankful for the other three times he has brought me through this. Im stronger this time because of it. I'm also praying for my sad kids. They are just missing momma, especially Jillian who hates to go anywhere without her family. Praying Gods peace over them. I can make it through anything if I know they're fine. These times always make me appreciate what momma went through and her perspective in having to face dying and leaving behind her children. It must have taken great faith. "Even though my condition isn't terminal,It makes you feel like your dying at times," said my big brother who has walked this same road. I am going to close for tonight and update tomorrow after my scope with hopefully some idea about a plan of action.
