Hey there I hope all is well. This must be hard for you. I was told I had it about 2 months ago and they were telling me that it can be passed on by the mother during birth, if your showing syptoms. I hope all is well and I'm sure everything will be ok. The body has its own way of fighting it off ! just keep up on his treatments.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
