Truly inspirational to say the least...
When he gets strong enough, they'll probably talk to him about going on maintenance tx because he's more than likely going to have another episode of battling the virus...
However, he's going to have quite an arsenal of tx's that will eventually cure him of the disease once and for all!
I hope the best for him and his family and may God continue to look after him... Thanks for sharing this story. ;>) ;>) ;>)
Respectfully,
