What you need to do to ease you mind is that you need to have blood work done. Inform the Doctor that your Mother had Hept C when you were born and that you need along with the full liver panel done you need to have all the test to determine if you have Hept C.

I am surprised that you have not had this done already.

Get it done and get some peace of mind.

Then deal with what ever is next.

Obvisely you need to not have your son not to bite grandma anymore or teach him not to bite people. Then you need to get tested so you can have a peace of mind and to know if you have HepC too.

I agree with the others. Get tested & then go from there. You need to know if nothing else for the peace of mind.
