Hi...I completely understand your joy! The quality of life our kiddos can have when in remission...my son has UC and it's been a rollercoaster. He did well on Humira...we would have the numbing patches and leave on for an hour and he was so scared for the stomach...but after awhile he realized it was less painful. Sending you well wishes and continued healing vibes for son!
