Reply to "will my kids get UC? anyone experience this?"

Isn't it the biggest fear a parent can get is when they find out that their child is diagnosed with the same illness. I had a hard time with it because when she started getting sick I was in the hospital going through my dilemmas. As I explained when I first joined the forum. I had gone in er in Nov. 2011 started with complications to my kidney, then the ovary they forgot to remove with my hysterectomy a year before. That's when things got ugly my body rejected the Jackson Pratt and well infection and all my abdominal stitches opened and my bowels surfaced all up to the opening with a fissure so all stools were coming out from my abdomen. Pretty scary for your kid to witness and well me being stuck there waiting to repair this delemma more complications occurred and lead us into the new year 2012 she starts complaining of cramping and diarrhea. Fortunately for me my husband took care of it. We definitely did not want her treated at the hospital I was at so drove across town to see another dr. Knowing my history ordered all kinds of tests and diagnosed herr with crohns. The scare this poor girl was feeling, had no words all she remembers of me is a sick mom
That's gone to hell and back surgery after surgeries with one complication after another one . Being in the hospital not being able to hold her hand when she went through those horrible tests we all know of broke my heart, and this guilt that I feel about her inheriting it from me.I'm scared that she feels or thinks that she's gonna end up like me kills me even more. We are very close and well shes seen everything that's happened with me and is well aware of the medical terms and percedures and that helps but also makes her nervouse because she knows what they consist of. My story has been and is a little complexed and had medical errors done , makes it a little scary for her,shes had to witness to much at a very early age, this doesnt helpher,but with our support and the support of her GI we try to be supportive and informative to help ease her mind.Her GI put her on mezavant 2capsuls morning and night.I just hope that she stays in remission for the longest time . If only we could take the illness from our children and take it for our self, how wonderful would that be. Unfortunately life doesn't work that way. The love we feel for our children is so unexplainable! Anyway for all the parents living with illness and having sick children my heart goes out to all of you. Your all in my prayers may God be with all of us through these difficult times in our lives. Let's keep strong and positive Love doesn't cure but it sure helps to have it in our lives!!
