QUESTION: What was it like when you first found out about his illness?

MOM: Well, I knew that there was definitely something wrong with him, but when we found out that he got Crohn's disease, I was like, "Oh my god." I wasn't expecting that; I wasn't exactly sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting something like Crohn's disease. You know, I'm like, "Okay, what did I do wrong?" You know, as a mother, I'm like, "Could I have prevented something?" You know, "As a baby, what did I do wrong feeding him?" This and that. But you know, it happens, and you just have to deal with it.
