I believe you can get your PhD, BUT if it makes you sick to stretch yourself that thin, then maybe you can do something else? Something similar, but maybe requiring a tad less school? I'm not saying you couldn't do it, but I don't want to see you make yourself sick.
I think this may be your mother's concern, Kelly. I can only imagine how much she worries about you and wonders why you feel it's worth stressing yourself out. I realise that I don't know either of you, but I think she does understand your drive, but she knows how bad it is for you to be stressed. I know what stress does to me, and while I do have a problem similar to yours, I don't have Crohn's Disease.

Keep your chin up and remember you can do anything!
