For those of you who do not know Censie over at Building our story then hop on over and check her out. Aside from being my best friend, Censie is a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a friend to many. Censie and her husband Jeremy have always been the kind of people you could lean on or ask help from and now they need help.

Over the last few years Jeremy has been battling  Ulcerative Colitis. Here is a little time line of what has been going on.

Our Timeline:

July 2009 – Jeremy is diagnosed with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

July 2009-January 2013 – over 15 medications tried and failed.

June 2010 – Jude is born! (My godson and their first baby!)
September 2010 – Jeremy has his first hospitalization due to a horrible UC flair

September 2010 – Begins using Remicaid and Prednisone – never comes off of prednisone until after his surgery.

April 2011 – Hospitalized again – UC Flair

April 2011 – Off of Remicaid – starts Humira.  Still on Prednisone.

October 2012 – Teagan is born!! (baby girl!!)

November 2012 – Censie has gallbladder surgery

December 2012 – Jeremy has 2 one week stays in the hospital due to UC flairs

January 9, 2013 – Gustav the stoma is born!
January 21, 2013 – Jeremy finally gets released from the hospital!! 

March 4, 2013 – Jeremy goes back to work!!  Hooray!! 

March 18, 2013 – Jeremy get admitted to the hospital yet again – this time for an infection.

2012 was rough for Jeremy as his Ulcerative Colitis got worse and worse.  After 3 and a half years of trying over 15 different medications, some that were very scary medications and numerous hospital stays ($$$) it was decided in December 2012 that he would move towards having his colon removed. 

Jeremy is now living with an ileostomy due to him no longer having a colon or large intestine, he will have this forever.

Just when they get ahead Jeremy gets sick again and the last few weeks have been especially frustrating. 

What I am asking is first if you can send them prayers of healing and peace. Second can you spare even one dollar? They are happy he is moving forward but that also brought with them $12,000 plus worth of medical bills/debt. I know it seems like people are always asking for something from us but I can promise you this is a worthy battle to fight. So far they raised about $800 which allowed them to pay one bill off totally. But, there is much more to do. 

I ask that each of you check out this site and share it on facebook, in the twitter world, even email it out. We might not have much but if we work together we can do a lot.
