I just got an email from my son in Ohio that he has been diagnosed
with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.
Alpha-1 - antitrypsin deficiency is a hereditary disease that may lead
to hepatitis and cirrhosis. It is the most common genetic cause of
liver disease in children. Adults are also affected and may have lung
involvement with emphysema as well as liver disease. The protein
alpha-1 - antitrypsin is a substance made in the liver. It plays an
important role preventing the breakdown of enzymes in various organs
of the body.
I'm hoping and praying that this is a misdiagnosis.
Thanks in advance for all your thoughts, purrs, and prayers. As
you've probably already guessed I am devastated by this news.

Thank you. The last I heard from him was the had an appointment with
a liver specialist on Wednesday. (He is notorious for hating to
write, so knowing him the way I do I'm not too concerned that he
hasn't written.)

Adding our purrs and prayers that they'll find that it is in fact
misdiagnosed. I don't know anything about the disease, but it sounds
nasty and hope that they'll find it to be something else.
