Hi Steve!

Good to hear from you, and great as well to hear your daughter is doing so well. My 13 year old cousin was  diagnosed with Crohn's 4 months ago and is having a hard time with it. She was recently started on Remicade, which - and I did not know this until now - is apparently still in clinical trials for children.  It's hard enough dealing with this disease as an adult; having it has a child or being a parent of a child with IBD is so hard to imagine. But it's wonderful to hear your daughter has been managing well in recent years! 

I have also been a pretty infrequent visitor the past year or so, just popping in here and there and responding to a few posts. I'm nearing the 10 year anniversary of having my pouch. Generally I'm doing very well - apart from a recent flare up of hemorrhoids which actually prompted my visit today.    Otherwise the pouch is just background noise in my life right now. I really can't complain.
