Test Results In

I'm sorry I haven't had an update on my test results yet. I did get them, but the doctor still has to tell us what he's going to do with them. To make a long story short, the test was positive, but it's much worse than we thought. I have late-stage Lyme Disease, and in all likelihood I also have at least 1 (if not 2) of Lyme Disease's more serious co-infections - Babesiosis and/or Ehrlichiosis. I will give more details later, because my brain is so overloaded that I can't think...I can't form thoughts...I can't form words...I can barely type anymore. Pretty soon I am going to have my mom write these updates, because I won't be able to (physically or mentally).

My symptoms are getting much worse every single day. Today, my sister had to help me out of bed. It hurts to do ANY normal activity....walking, moving, sitting, standing, writing, typing, getting dressed, and SO much more!!!! EVERYTHING hurts, everything is difficult, and everything is painful. Truly, this is the beginning of the end. It will only get worse from here. I know I don't have the strength for this...I need all of the prayers and encouragement I can get. Most of all, I need strength from God, because without Him and His strength, I won't be able to do this.

Today I am going to the doctor [for a different reason...I'm sick with some sort of lung infection], and my mom is going to approach my doctor about medication for the Lyme's.


Here are some specific prayer requests:

-Strength for me/my body and my family
-Peace for me and my family
-Cooperation from the doctors
-Cooperation from my teachers, friends, family, etc.
-And most of all - COMPLETE HEALING


I will have my mom write a more detailed update on test results, doctors, treatment, etc. as soon as possible. I'm so sorry to keep you all waiting.



Love,
Kristin
