January 29th, my 16 year old nephew Sean was admitted into CHOP, and hasn’t been home since. He has been battling IBD since he was 9. It has been a tough road with a lot of bumps along the way. Endless procedures, monthly infusions, hospital stays, surgeries, and severe pain. We have all been in awe of his bravery, determined attitude and humor throughout the years. He hasn’t let his disease set him back on reaching any of his goals.
