Thanks for letting us know. I know a woman who has this disease and she said she was in pain most of her life until she had her large intestine removed. I think that's right or maybe it was her small intestine. Now she's finally pain free. I bet all the stress would really cause Casey's ulcerative colitis to flare up. I hope he'll be a okay from now on.

I like Karen best when she sings in Spanish. Even though I don't understand her, I think its beautiful.

Can't wait for this next week. Do we know what they are singing? Any theme or person? I can't remember if they said at the end of the show last week.
Yes, I heard that this is the second time that he's been in the hospital. I don't remember hearing any announcement for theme or person next week.
