Hey everyone! First of all I wanted to thank everyone for your prayers and concern for our family. Cathy is having good days and bad days, but has not yet started treatment for her Hepatitis C. We will see the Dr. next week and discuss different treatment options. Many people are asking a lot of questions, wanting to know more about the didease so I will give you some info. and a web link where you can find out more.
Hepatitis C is a blood disease that (if left untreated) attacks the liver. People in the health care fields such as nurses, Dr.'s, paramedics are probably the most "at risk group" to come into contact with it. Also Drug addicts who share needles, people who have received blood transfusions, or who those who have been pricked with a contaminated needle. the fact is that many people who have Hep C. don't really know how they got it, since it can be in your system for decades before it is detected. It cannot be spread through hand shakes, hugs or even kissing but must be an exchange of contaminated blood to anothers blood source. I don't want to take up a lot of time on this first blog talking about Hep C. but if you want to know more, simply type "Hepatitis -C facts" in the search engine and you will find 100's of helpful pages.
We thank you so much for your prayers, love and encouragement. We are especially thankful to God who has allowed us a very blessed life, and wonderful friends and family to share it with.
God Bless! Pastor David and the girls
