Taresa Update

Ok, so here is the long awaited update about Taresa's health.

Last year at the end of January Taresa went into the hospital for abdominal pain. She had her gallbladder removed and didn't get better. Then she was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitus. After several months of in and out of the hospital, a month long fast, and several doctor appointments later, in June she was diagnosed with Crohn's. After 4 months of heavy a prescription regiment Taresa's GI told us that her body wasn't responding to his diagnoses and his system to cure people with her condition so he could nothing else for us and told us to go to the MAYO Clinic, in which our insurance didn't pay for. We sought out answers from up above and came to feel a second opinion was our best option. Our new GI took her off almost all of the medication, and wasn't convinced she even had Crohn's. So after a few months of tests and a recent surgery, she for sure doesn't have Crohn's. She has sever IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) in connection with some auto-immune disease connected to the liver, which we are now in the process of pin pointing this disease.

Thank you, isn't enough nor can explain the magnitude of our gratitude for those of you who have loved us, supported us, cried with us, visited us, emailed, called, prayed, fasted and offered your concern heaven wards for us. For Taresa's health and our families happiness and strength. For your faith and prayers though not answered in the way we have all wanted, blessings have come to us. Friendships have been strengthened, our faith in God and what's most importantin this life and the next has been fortified even more. Gratitude and love does seem very cliche' but it is from our hearts and makes us cry for how much has been done and said in our behalf.
