Prayer Request for Freeper's Son

Me | Today | Self

[kimmie7]

I just got the news that my precious son's (age 4) blood tests are back. He has Alpha 1 and the numbers on his liver enzymes are shooting up again.

His alkalines have almost doubles, as have ALT and AST. In short, it's not real good. Our wonderful doctor wants to check again in 3 months, but thinks we'll be headed back to Vandy for more aggressive treatment.

Please pray for his health & healing if it is God's will. Also, please pray for us as we cope. I will most certainly give God the glory and ya'll my heartfelt thanks.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AAT Deficiency or Alpha-1) is one of the most common serious hereditary disorders in the world and can result in life-threatening liver disease in children and adults or in lung disease in adults.

I'm going to have a bit of a cry now. He begged to go to Granny's for a few hours and I just couldn't say no.

Oh, kimmie7, I'm so sorry to hear this. Having to deal with a hereditary disorder, I understand a "little" of what you're talking about. They're doing some good research and I pray it is helpful for your son.

Kimmie... {{{{{hug}}}}}

There are no words I can off you. I will offer them to God instead, on precious son's behalf. God has listened to us before - do you remember, Kimmie? Even when it seemed no one could save Terri?

He is still the same God...

I will go pray now. You are not alone...

[kimmie7]

At least he feels fine right now. Thanks so very much for all your prayers.

I have a son with HLHS. He has had three heart surgeries. I know what you're going thru believe me.

Prayers heavenward. Be still and know that God is.

[Gerasimov]

Hang in there, and rest assured that He hears all your prayers and all the prayers going up for you from your friends here.

[BSunday]

Prayers are going out for you
