MORE UPDATE. Thank you everyone for your prayers. They have been answered. She is improving every day and actually cooked Valentines Dinner. She is capable of eating small amounts and went back to work as a dental hygienist. Still wakes up every night with pain, but seems to manage it. I am so grateful to all of you for having kept her in your prayers. Cuties are the best.

UPDATE: I have a granddaughter that could use prayers. She is currently in the hospital. The battle is Crohn's disease. She has lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks and is not able to keep food down. What makes it even more complicate is the fact that she is a kidney recipient, so they have to be very careful with the immune system. That is such a tough one for a women in her late twenties

UPDATE
She is home from the hospital, because they could not do anything more then what she could do at home. They changed one medication she was taking because of the transplant, but it will take about a week to see to if that makes any difference. She is still in pain and is trying "Ensure" for nutrition.
She has come home with pain meds, anti nausea, prednisone and new anti rejection drugs. It is a waiting game now. I want to thank everyone for their willingness to pray for her. Please keep it going.

Hallo Angie, das hört sich nicht gut an, ich hoffe sie darf überhaupt Cortison bekommen um den Schub zu stoppen . . . ich drücke ihr die Daumen und der besorgten Oma natürlich auch, liebe Grüße, Maria

Oh Angie, my heart grieves for you watching this beloved grandchild struggle. My prayers are going up as I type and I will be sending as many as it takes throughout this ordeal. Please send her the love only Cuties can send and let her know she has hundreds of folks supporting her in prayer and love. And hugs to you both. I know you need hugs right now.

I had a coworker with Crohn's in my working years and I watched her struggles. I will be praying with others for her improvement and going home (always makes us feel better).

What makes it more difficult to treat her is the fact that they can not suppress the immune system too much. It is taking a risk for her body to reject the kidney

Prayers are coming. Having your auto-immune suppressed makes everything harder. I also have had a kidney transplant so I know personally.

Poor child, well young woman. So sorry to hear this.
We have a great niece with Crohn's and Fredrick's Ataxia. Not good to have either and especially both.
A double whammy for your grand daughter too, with the transplant. Of course, I know how concerned you are and she is being lifted up in prayer, for sure. You too Angie.
