    Listen up.

    I talked to Carol Harrington, the reporter today. We had a long long long talk.

    She will be putting me in touch with the Dad who needs our help bigtime.

    Hold on we are going to get AJWRB.org side of the story out.

    concerned mama, I will be in touch tomorrow.

    p.s. - father knows about ajwrb.org but doesn't know much else. He just stumbled over ajwrb and was shocked.

    Carol says he does know much else.

    Daughter is definitely closed minded

    Hawk,
    I didn't get anything yet?
    By the way, there was not a single letter to the editor about that poor Dad's plight. The Journal's policy required each letter published with a full name, and that would scare off most people.

    Jehovah's Witness praises hospital staff


    Calgary Herald

    Tuesday, March 12, 2002

    The father of a Jehovah's Witness girl suffering from leukemia praised doctors for improving her condition through treatment that includes blood transfusions forbidden by their faith.

    The 16-year-old girl and her mother are trying to have the transfusions stopped, but her father, who is also a Jehovah's Witness, believes they are necessary to keep her alive.

    "The treatment is working," the 51-year-old father said Monday. "Words can't describe my appreciation to the staff at Alberta Children's Hospital."

    The teen has been undergoing chemotherapy since last month and the province gained temporary custody of her after she and her family refused to allow blood transfusions.

    The father changed his mind after rereading Bible scriptures.

    "There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that my daughter was on the verge of death . . . and that without this treatment she would have died a long time ago," he said in a written statement.

    Blood transfusions are considered necessary because leukemia depletes red blood cells, which carry needed oxygen to the body's vital organs.
