I really appreciate this seasoned sort of perspective. I can see early on how important it is to have a doctor you trust and like.

Remission, hooray! Thanks for posting.

When we moved to Houston, we had no idea that we were going to get cozy with colitis. It's really great to live in a city of health care. We also saw a specialist right away (next day). On the other hand, I have my gripes, because it feels more like pharmaceutical and insurance industry than...

Have fun!

Welcome to the forum and to our close intimacy with poo.

I can't say a thing about the surgery, but I can say welcome to the forum!

J and C, our thoughts and hopes are with you and yours!

Welcome. It seems to be mostly different for mostly everyone.

Greetings Thomas. I hope you get a lot from this site.

Yes, exciting, and congratulations!

Hello and welcome.

I hear you on that one. Isaac doesn't seem to feel much pain with his colitis. Sometimes he does, and he indicates so, but for the most part he doesn't. We ask ourselves similar questions, especially when he was younger and really didn't talk much at all yet, but now he can communicate pain...

and yes, vex is an awesome word, by the way.

I hear you, but it doesn't rankle me so much. Maybe because I'm newer to the game and a little like that myself? But it seems like with any serious investigation into it, and exposure to it, you learn.

I'm glad you found the forum here, as it can do good to read about others' paths and how they are similar or different.

Isaac is doing fine these days. Getting ready for a birthday in 3 days now! He is tapering off of steroids and seems to be pooping like a normal kiddo again...
