Hi to all:
We live in California and my husband contacted Valley Fever when we were on
a holiday in Northern California. The result of it was five months in the
hospital, three lung operations and he has been unable to work for the past
15 years. Two parts of one lung was removed and one area on the other lung
was removed. He is on oxygen 24 hours a day. In Ohio Valley Fever is
sometimes contacted by those who work on the farms. I know of one case in
Ohio (a friend of my Parents) who had a farm near Hamilton, Ohio and died
with it.

My prayers go out to Bev and all the others who need it.

Mary Dee
