Hello!
I have a good report this time. Even though I'm still in a lot of pain all the time, I have been doing more without the usual set-backs. My doctor thinks I'm doing remarkably well considering everything I've been through with the temporary move to South Carolina, living bumper to bumper in a two bedroom apartment, and moving back again. Everything seemed to check out during my exam. I don't know what exactly he looks for, but he said everything looks well and he thinks I'm improved. This gives me some hope as I've been discouraged by all the pain. I don't know if the Fibromyalgia will go away with the Lyme or if that's something I'll have to live with the rest of my life. I didn't think to ask him, either...just too many things to discuss.
Thank you for your continued prayer and loving support. I can tell people pray for us. God's grace is so evident in our lives. :-)
Yours truly,
Linnette
The Boys Lyme Check, September 21, 2009
What an adventure we had today! Matthew hurt his wrist last week, Andrew hurt his finger yesterday, and Garrison ran a high fever all night last night. By the time we reached the doctor today, we were more than ready to see him.
Garrison has a re-occurring fever that comes with headaches and vomiting. We have yet to figure out what triggers it, but it's been going on for almost a year. Dr. wants me to start journaling what he eats, drinks, medications, etc. to see if we can figure out a pattern and better pinpoint what's going on with him. Otherwise, everything else seems to check out ok. Anyway, he was sick last night, but had not vomited. I hoped I had gotten to him with the Silverbiotics in time, but on the way home we stopped for lunch and his fever spiked again. I no sooner got him in the van and he threw up. We ran over to Target to get him some fresh, warm clothes. I put his shirt on, was working on his pants when he threw up again. Argh! We managed to get things under control and head home at last. He's still spiking and I'm having to alternate Tylenol and Advil. Hopefully, we'll get a little sleep tonight.
Matthew is doing well considering he was off his meds all summer. We are starting him back up, however since his fatigue started returning. We also got him a new allergy med in hopes it will give him some relief. We x-rayed his wrist, though. Dr. thought it possible that it was fractured at the growth plate. He couldn't see a fracture, but said the radiologist will look it over and let us know if he sees anything different.
Andrew is doing ok except for his neurological tics which have returned, as well as his allergies. We're continuing his allergy meds as are and returning him to the antibiotics for the Lyme. He also needed an x-ray. Dr. thought his finger might be broken. Thankfully, it turned out to be a bad sprain, but it made for a very interesting day at the doctor's office.
Christopher checked out for the most part. He's had some issues with fatigue and such, so we're checking some of his blood levels, but that's about it for now.
My Lyme check-up isn't until next week so nothing to report there, yet. Sorry if this seems a bit choppy or abrupt. As you can imagine, I'm a bit wore out and ready to go to bed. Thanks for caring enough to keep up. And thank you for the prayers and support you give.
In His grace,
