Sarah - Crohn's Update

Sarah had a gastro appointment today and we had mostly good news. She has gained 20 pounds since her procedures in June and looks a million times healthier. She was able to go off of two medicines - the steroid and the Prevacid. Hopefully, the bloating she has in her face and belly will go down a bit now. We still need to do blood work in a couple weeks to check on her anemia, but overall, we're happy with her progress!

She had some dry skin around her nostrils and around her mouth that was red and itchy. We're using topical creams at the moment and hopefully it will go away before a dermatologist appointment is necessary!
