Sometimes the signs are quiet before they are loud.

Sometimes the story begins long before we know what we’re looking at.

In this episode of Holyoaks Rise: Stories of Rising Through the Unexpected, I share our daughter’s journey through pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease and liver disease— and how early urinary symptoms were actually the first clue.

We gently walk through:

*Early signs of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in children.

* Crohns Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) considerations.

* Chronic Gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation.

* The “sensitive neighbor” bladder explanation.

* Abnormal liver labs and liver involvement.

* Autoimmune liver disease, including Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH)

*Parenting through chronic illness with steadiness and advocacy.

If you are navigating pediatric IBD, Crohn’s disease, liver disease, PSC, AIH, complex autoimmune conditions, or any chronic disease in your child— you are not alone here.

This is our “Tough Cookies” rise story— not rushed, not dramatic — just honest, steady and anchored in hope.
