NOT A GOOD DAY TODAY!
last week was totally crap cos of sides and i've written it out of this year. AND today is only monday and is prolly one of the worst days ever. blood results came back today for my 15 yr old son and guess what?????????? yep, you guessed it!! he has hcv. grrrrrrrrrrr!!! and has prolly had it since birth. so he's now been referred to my hepatologist and we'll see where we go from there.
of course, after the initial shock of it, i quickly became positive about his prospects given the fact that he's prolly the same genotype as me and that he will have sustained little or no damage to his liver and talked him through the whole thing and he feels pretty ok about the it now. he thought he would automatically become as ill as i am, but i explained that he is prolly only in the very early stages of the disease, whereas i am at the other end, so its a completely different ball game for him. but at times like this, i do wonder where god is and why he sees fit to punish such innocents.
i wont go on a depressive about it though. in fact, i am more determined than ever now. i must conquer my battle in order to be there for him and i sure as hell wont let him suffer any more than is absolutely necessary!
i am not a happy bunny today, but hey, tomorrow's another day and the sun will shine for us tomorrow.
sorry to vent my friends, cos i know there are lots of others on here that have had to watch their children go through hell from much worse positions than my son and i have always admired those of you that have done that and i'm sure they must have been just as devastated, but well done all of you:) my heart goes out to you. now it's our turn. i only pray that i can be as strong for my son as some of you have been for your children.
thank you guys for being there for me:)
luv ya

I am sorry to hear your son has hcv. I know with your knowledge he will not have some of the fear others do with no one that understands. It sounds like you have put his mind to some rest already. He sounds like a trooper. I have you both in my prayers.
Let the children come to me. Do not stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you, anyone who does not have their kind of faith will never get into the Kingdom of God. Mark 10:14-15
