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.

I had experienced renewal in the Lord during our church's revival last month (or earlier this) and He just keeps nudging me closer to Him. Go Kimmie!!! You share that story, and let us all know when you do!!By the way,I have several videos of Chondra!! She is great,not to mention funny!

Your tag is my and my mother's favorite Psalm. My favorite scripture is John 14:1-6. Let not your heart be troubled.... I love to hear The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir singing Psalm 121.!!! I love John 14 too.....well let's just say that GOD IS GOOD!!!

Yahoo . . . I mean HALLELUJAH! I enjoyed reading your post #499. By the way, my husband, freeper Lager, has a reoccurring cancer called "sacral chordoma". We just found out yesterday that it's come back, following MRI and CT Scans. He had MAJOR surgery four years ago to remove it. He was supposed to have radiation at that time but had no health insurance. Anyway, here we are in need or prayer.

Prayers going up for your precious son for strength and healing, and for you and your family , that you are comforted and carried through this storm. I'm sorry to hear the news about your little boy. I know it's almost impossible for you to get enough rest , but please try not to let yourself get too run down. Little things like taking a nap, not skipping too many meals, or even just a change of scenery-taking a short walk, exc, can help keep your strength up, and help you cope. The Peace of the Lord be with you.

Gene therapy is not a sure enough thing. As we have discussed, a liver transplant is your best bet.
The good news is that, thanks to modern immunology, a close histocompatibility match is not as important as it used to be, and a partial liver transplant, which makes more donor tissue available now, may well do the job.
My offers of assistance still stand. Please FReepMail me if I can help. And may the Lord watch over you, your son, and all of your family during this time of travail. My prayers are and have been with you, kimmie.....

Ping to post 451.
God has completely HEALED my darling son! There is ZERO liver damage now in a liver that just months ago was giving every sign of going bad very quickly. The doctors are shaking and scratching their heads, and we are praising the Great Physician!
The biopsy samples are being sent away to check for ANY Alpha 1 AT ALL. It would seem that God has removed all evidence of this horrible disease from Jacob's body.
Thank you, dear friend, for all you've done! I'll keep everyone aprised of any new developments. Until then, PRAISE THE LORD!
