Quick update!

I can't write much here, as I'm about to head off to Kyle's Grandmother's birthday, but I just wanted to update everyone briefly- I saw Dr. Kaplan today for a followup, and it looks like I'm not gonna be going on Remicade after all! Yay!

He said my incisions look great, and that I'm really lucky to have had a surgeon with the skill to do my surgery laparoscopically. He said that while I do still have Crohn's, the diseased parts are essentially cut out, so we're going to take a preventative path with treatment and put me back on Imuran. I'm also going to be tapering off the prednisone over the next couple weeks.

I'm feeling great, and everyone says I look healthy- I haven't felt any of my usual Crohn's symptoms since the surgery, so it looks like I'm probably successfully in remission now! :)

But I must run, so thanks for all the well-wishes everyone! I'll add more when I have time!
