BEYOND LUCKY. BLESSED!

Six days before our second son was born in October 1998 we went to the Liver Specialist for the results of David's liver biopsy.  He was told he had Hepatitus C and cirrohsis of the liver and would be dead in 3 years if he did not get a transplant.  Having been diagnosed HIV+ back in 1986 and already surviving those odds this was more heavy news at what was otherwise a joyous time.  He opted to take some new medicine called interferon as the odds of getting a transplant with his HIV status was slim. Recent tests have shown that the Hepatitis C has been totally eradicated and the cirrhosis stopped in it's tracks.  This photo was taken in early March 2014 with our secnd son - nearly 16 years later.  I would say that it is pretty obvious that David is certainly beyond lucky and that his good health is surely a blessing from God.  

I created this layout for Scrapbook.com March Page Drafts Sketch challenge.
