Local 7's
Rafael Santana
making great strides back in his battle
against
Wegener's disease... |
 |
Thanks to all the prayers from within the District
Council and beyond, Local 7's Rafael Santana is making a
miraculous recovery after being ravaged by Wegener's disease, an
insidious inflammation that
damages important organs of the body by limiting blood flow to those
organs and destroying normal tissue. Rafael's wife, Mary, has
been ever-vigilant, and her prayers and those of Rafael's many
family members, friends, and co-workers seem to have worked.
Although he
still has a long way to go, he is able to converse on the phone and
will soon be heading for a rehabilitation hospital to work towards
gaining back his full strength. Special thanks go out to the
Labor Guild, where Rafael is an executive board member. Their
prayers and constant information updates were greatly appreciated.
UPDATED INFO: I spoke
with Rafael's wife Mary this morning. Rafael is now at the Radius
Specialty Hospital at 59 Townsend Street in Roxbury, MA. He is
up walking and is making great strides.

now be reached at
