Camps: Genetic Disease Alpha-1

I am a descendant Thomas P. Camp of Tx. Our eldest son was diagnosed with Alpha 1 over two years ago. He had a lung transplant in April of 1999. Sadly to say he died in July from complications of the disease and lung transplant. The info you have on the disease is what we were told. Our other children have been tested and the results are fairly common. The other son has a very mild case amnd the daughter is a carrier. The two eldest of our grandchildren were tested. The grandson ( son's) tested as a borderline and the grandaughter (daughter's) tested negative. I feel I know what you must be going through. If I can be of any support or help to you, let me know. We are still in the recovery stage after his death, but it must be handled.
Have faith and trust in the Lord to see you through this event. May God Bless You. Pat
