Brody's Brave Journey: Conquering Crohn's
In 2019, at the start of his third-grade year, Brody Ryan began experiencing recurring fevers that sometimes lasted for days. His mom, Sarah, sensed something was seriously wrong and advocated for Brody to get some bloodwork done with his local pediatrician. When his bloodwork indicated further testing was necessary, Brody’s doctor referred him to Studer Family Children’s Hospital. After a series of tests, Brody was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, admitted to the hospital immediately, and began treatment. Crohn’s disease is a rare autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation of the intestines.
