I gotta say, theres not one thing about my college that bothers me especially in this situation. Ive had the Dean email me back and forth to make sure Im okay, every one of my professors emailed me to make me feel at ease, my closest friends at the school are always texting me to make sure Im okay, and the University Champlain just left after a two hour visit by my bedside. Having support like this when your far away from your real home makes you feel so much better. And Ed has literally been by my side like big brother and I love him so much for it. Im so happy I picked my college, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. The last time I slept was Friday night, yes 3 nights of not being able to close my eyes because of the strong steroid infusions that Im receiving. The good news is I just got Ativan, which is a sedative, and the entire unit should hear me snoring in 2 mins. Im sorry for not answering most of the text messages again but Ill sum up EVERYRHING VERY QUICKLY before I take a nap on another planet. After some doses of meds over the past 4 days, the swelling in my small intestine reduced a little which is showing that this medication can work. So were hoping that the passage will get less narrow and less narrow for now. After a long talk with the doctors and taking to my mom regarding the other findings their long term effects on my body, we agreed to avoid surgery and not do a colectomy this early on. For now, taking extra medication daily is the approach were taking to attempt to reverse the abnormal areas that were spotting by the colonoscopy and ct-scan and it might do the job just fine. Right now I have plenty of options to work with before taking on a big surgery which comes with a big risk. If I get a colectomy done now, later in time the Crohns can start growing in new areas of the intestines and it will be a chain reaction until I have no intestines left then Im really done. So thats the last resort right now and Im very happy with this decision and I know Ill get right back into remission agin because I have faith. Okay goodnight!
