The United Colon Vlog

This starts a series of videos that I am posting to share the perspectives of other family members and those close to a loved one who suffers from a chronic illness. This interview was conducted at my Daddy’s portrait studio. This is my dad, Fuad. He talks about the struggles that he has during my struggle with Crohn’s Colitis. My daddy is a small business owner and is often left alone to run the show while my mom does all the running and care of me for my illness. This is a candid interview as my daddy talks about insurance companies, trying to make money in a dipped economy, frustration with my illness, and how it impacted our whole family dynamic. This is a two part video. Thanks Daddy for doing this for me! I love you very much!
The questions I asked daddy are:
1. When you found out Nadia was sick, what went through your mind? What were your feelings as you began to see Nadia’s disease progress?
2. How has this illness affected your family, your lifestyle and you financially?
3. How is Healthcare compared between USA and abroad?
4. What is your relationship with your daughter as she endures all this?
5. What is your support system? Family and Friends?
