Elijah had his blood drawn this morning. Fingers are crossed no virus is detected. Had my biopsy today as well. I was pretty axious about it.... not scared, but anxious. The numbing crap hurt!! But the biopsy was done and over with quickly. I can now imagine what it feels like to be kicked in the ribs. At least it was fast and I got to lay down without hearing kids yelling in the background... woohoo!!
And now I am back in the waiting game.

I am devestated. Not surprised, but devestated none the less. Little Elijah tested positive for the HCV anti-body. Now I know its not the end of the world. I don't even know if he has the virus itself yet, but damn. He is so little and so helpless. Its just not fair! I am having a pity party for him already. Fingers crossed the next test goes how I want it to.

OH my darling friend, this news put tears in my eyes.
Soo sad, when will you know if he has the virus.
Poor baby, so young and might have to live with this damn virus.
This is such a sad time for you, have you've been able to reach your hubby.
If you want to talk or vent away, I am just a message away.
Mckenzie

Talk to you soon.

Oh Moria I am so sorry to hear this news, I can only imagine how you must be feeling. Listen, try not to fret too much until the PCR test results come back okay, he may not have the virus remember. And also remember that %20 of humans infected with this virus only go through the acute stage, which lasts about 2 to 6 weeks, then for some reason the virus leaves their body and they are free. Your precious little baby boy may be one of the %20 who rid the virus. Please keep hope my friend, we will deal with this one day at a time, okay? Hang in there, Love and Prayers Ramona oxoxoxox

Fingers are crossed that it's justthe antibodies nd no live virus is still around! Love you!Take care now at this difficult scarry time.
My test are now 6 weeks old, but were taken approx. 1 month after my last test. Results?
AST 45 31 at first test
ALT 108 50 at first test
HCV RNA, QUANT, bDNA LogIU/mL 4.70 4.39 at first test
HCV RNA QUANT, bDNA IU/mL 50030 24510 at first test
Red Cell Dist. Width % 15.3 Normal is 11.0-15.0
Everything else came back within normal ranges. Abdominal ultrasound came back as "grossly unremarkable". All good there.
Liver biopsy scheduled for June 26th. Yikes! This scares me soooo much, even though everyone says its no big deal. I guess I will continue to freak out until its done and then when I have a 2nd one I can be one of the cool peeps saying its no big deal lol.
Also blood pressure was extremely high for me today at 130/80. My normal is 118/60-ish. Stress anyone?
There ya have it.

Good for you keeping your numbers. Your ALT should be between 15 and 65. 65 to 98 is high. Over 98 is in the danger zone. Yours is at 108 mmmmm? As long as your doc is keeping an eye open. Wow the 26th is so soon eh, get it over with is good. xoxoxo

Hello my darling M. Now lets see.
The normal range for ALT's is between 10 - 40,
yours are extremely high,
OMG what did he say about this,
does he want you to start tx?
Now lets see the AST's are supose to be between, 15 - 35,
your are, 45 again extremely high.
I'm looking at my numbers, from when I was on treatment, my AST's were at 45 one month into treatment, then as time on tx went on, they came back in normal range.
Again, what did he have to say about your enzymes being so out of wacke?
Now, next the viral load, even that went up.
Now it's at 4,700,000, was 4,390,000 before, so that went up too.
I think the stress has a lot to do with your numbers going up like this, I know your very stress with this, but you will need to start accepting that you have it, and your stress level will go down, so will you numbers.
Your red blood width is normal, cause the normal range is 11.5 - 15.5.
I'm sorry that you had this news, but now what's next for you, he must have recommended tx, asap?
did he?
Keep me posted my dear, and try to relax, and face this and learn as much as you can on the virus, and what to do to keep those numbers down.
Diet, exercise, no stress....
talk to you tonight.. Mckenzie one day at the time
