Crisis reopens a door to music
Nothing Katie Young had gone through before had prepared her for that night last February.
Young's husband, Justin, said his wife woke up in pain — pain so intense that "she felt like her abdomen was being ripped to shreds."
The Youngs had thought her health problems through the years were food allergies. But this was different.
Justin Young said his wife told him the pain was the worst she had ever felt — even worse than giving birth to their two children naturally. "She's not one to go to the doctor," Young said, but he rushed her to the hospital. "Sure enough, they admitted her, rushed her into surgery, (discovered a perforation) and then they diagnosed it as Crohn's disease," a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.
Doctors removed about 10 inches of Katie Young's small intestine and a small portion of her large intestine, her husband said. They didn't have any health insurance because he "had been job-hopping for a while. I got into real estate as soon as the market tanked, so I went to something else, a commission-only job, then I started applying to go back to school, and that's when this all came together."
