The Year of the Brain. A letter to the New Year.

Crohn's Disease
May 4, 2014 is a day I will never forget. I woke up to my 6 kids doing what kids do best, making a mess. As soon as I opened my eyes I knew it was going to be bad day.

Little did I know that was just the beginning of 6 years of hell.
