A Second Chance at Life - A Story of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease :: Kristen Jones, Episode 352

It’s time for our First Monday Story coming from our Trussville, Alabama community group… And, it’s the perfect story for “Colitis and Crohn’s Awareness week,” celebrated the first week of December.

At the age of fifteen, Kristen Jones was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. It was a disease doctors said she would be fighting her entire life. The years that followed were spent being sick then well, taking medications and blood transfusions, only to be re-diagnosed with Crohn’s disease as an adult. When told her only way to live was through surgery and wearing an ileostomy bag, Kristen hesitantly agreed. Listen in as she speaks of all the Lord has taught her as the Author of her story.
