I haven't been on much lately. I've been busy with work, then had a nice vacation back at my family's summer house in NY. Some great fun with family and friends. My sister has been visiting me for the week enjoying my the pool and fitness center more than me. It has been a busy and sometimes stressful but exciting few weeks. Yesterday marked the 4th anniversary of my father's passing.I wanted to take the time to bring awareness to the disease he had, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. It is often misdiagnosed and feel it is important to educate people about it.Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1) is a genetic (inherited) condition – it is passed from parents to their children through their genes. Alpha-1 may result in serious lung disease in adults and/or liver disease at any age.http://www.alpha1portal.org/Have a great day! 4951

@Retired_Engineer: I am a carrier. Which means not only could I pass it to my kids but I am at a greater risk for lung and liver disease.

@mjcboat: Sorry to hear that.  I am not familiar with AD, but thanks for alerting us about it.  Is there any treatment for it, even if it just reduces the risks?  Good luck to you!
