My wife is currently having a severe UC flare, her second one ever (2 years remission after first which also required hospitalization), but is not responding to high dose IV steroids after 5 days. Humira has been ordered and will arrive tomorrow but if she doesn't turn the corner very soon may need colectomy.
Does anyone have any experience with the surgical or medical team at Wake Forest Univ. Baptist Medical Center where she is an inpatient? Any other thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Both of us are pretty freaked out right now.

I have had experience with wake forest medical team and they are amazing. My doctor was Dr. Turner, he should still be there if not just find out who took over his position but they work with you. I had my colon removed, temp ileostomy and now have a j-pouch and he is the one who did them all, caring and understanding. I would recommend him anytime.
