Hi beaches4me -- yes please, do as Jim suggests!!! If you're on Facebook then go to the IBDKitties page. I am there also. You will get all the info & all the help you'll need with your little girl. She sounds like she's getting stressed from her malady, but that too can be reversed if you can get her feeling better again. She isn't young tho' & you definitely have that working against you.
It is a tough disease/illness to combat. It's doable but not cheap. Our 9-10 year old boy Spencer survived it, but is still on two meds even after 8 months. He went from 22.7 pounds down to 16.1 & is now back up to 19.6. He is not fat - he is big! Trust me!
It was worth it to us & we were lucky that even tho' we ran up a bill, we got an income tax return which helped a little.
Please keep posting...there are good people here who will try to offer help from their own experiences with this!
