Rejoice and Be Glad!

Hi friends and family!

Great news!!!  When Mike started treatment one week ago, his HCV Viral Load Count (Hepatitis C Count) was 730,000.  Today we received word that his Viral Load was 640 count of the virus.  That's 640- NOT 640,000!  That's 640!  This count is considered undetectable!  In one week it appears God has cleared the virus from Mike through this medicine.  WHOO-HOO!

He did his second injection last night with minimal side effects lasting through the day.  So, far he has not experienced additional expected side effects, other than fatigue.  We consider this a MIRACLE and direct answer to YOUR PRAYERS!

We are still continuing treatment and another count will verify the numbers to be true.  Another test will probably be scheduled in a few weeks to confirm this information.  Please continue to pray and REJOICE as we believe the Lord is answering our prayers, honoring our gratitude to Him and healing Mike!

His blood work is looking good except for his platelet count which looks very low.  This is due to the medication which could cause Anemia.  His current platelets are 51,000.  If platelet counts reach 45,000, it is considered dangerous and possible blood transfusions might be needed.  Normal numbers are anywhere between 130,000-400,000.  So please be praying over this gap in platelet counts.

We are overjoyed with the above report and we want to keep rejoicing in God's amazing hand of healing and honoring the prayers of His people.  Please keep praying, but above all rejoicing in what God is doing!

Don't forget to keep checking back for the next update coming soon!

We love you all and God bless!
