I have not seen the  female Humming bird since Friday. I presume she left. The males left about a month ago. I wish they stayed around longer.

My wife has a few videos she took in our backyard yesterday of "our" female hummingbird. We've seen her pretty much daily for quite a long time and have been assuming each day would be the last we'd see her, but to our delight she's still around. They're usually gone by the middle of September.

Hey Steve @Voyager hope you find a good medical answer for your issues. I know quite a few with it and they manage just fine so there is hope.

We have a treatment plan, as long as my insurance doesn't interfere because it's a bit expensive. I started on Prednisone, which is normal, and then I will begin a Remicade infusion regimen every 8 weeks after two starter doses. The Prednisone is a quick hitter to knock back the inflammation, then the Remicade, a biologic medicine, should hopefully keep it in remission long term.

We'll see how it goes, but the Prednisone seems to be working already. Unfortunately, there's no cure for Crohn's, so long term remission is my best hope.
