My son Jason who was diagnosis with Crohns August 2011. Jason is now 34 years old, my son is mentally disable and is non-verbal. In the past 20 months Jason has had his large intestine removed and is using an ostomy bag, has been admitted several times for blockages.
Jason developed hernias which came out through his stoma. The first repair a single mesh was put in to strengthen the site, but it lasted a few months and then Jason developed another hernia. Went into hospital Feb. of this year to repair hernia using another layer of mesh to tighten the site, while in the hospital recovering from the last repair Jason developed 3 other blockages.
Jason had too have another surgery an had over 2 feet of his jejunum closest to the stomach removed, and two small repairs near the lower part of his small intestine. Jason has lost a lot of his appetite.
Because of the condition of Jason digestive system the Dr. feels that it is not safe for Jason to have anymore surgeries.
When Jason was first diagnosis, I learned all that I could about this disease, and decided that it would be best for Jason to puréed his food so that Jason's digestive system could absorb all the nutrients. We are now waiting to go back to Jason's nutritionist, so Jason has a better chance to absorb all the nutrients he can since Jason has cut back on what he wants to eat and drink.
