I know it has been some time since I have up dated my blog. Sorry for that. Sometimes it is just hard to put how I feel in words. Since the last post we have had another appointment with the infectious disease doctor. He was curious to know if I had been exposed to mold. Yes, I have been as we had it in our house. To make a long story short I was tested to see if I had mold in my body and I did. So, now we are treating the mold with another drug to get it out of my body so I can react to the drugs needed to fight the other things going on.
I can not express enough my thankfulness to find a wonderful doctor who believes in chronic Lyme disease and studies all the time to find out new ways to make his patients better! I fought a long hard fight in the area and it went for over 16 years on deaf ears. That is my prayer that the medical professionals in my area will realize yes, we do have Lyme disease in IA. I try to hard not to be bitter as I think if we would have known so many years ago what we have found out in the past few years my life would be so different. One little tiny tick. Life is changed. I often say all for a reason. That is what I remind myself and my family almost daily. All for a reason. God knows. We may never know until we meet Jesus and then I am thinking we won't care!
That one little tick has changed not only my life, but my families life. I often feel like I am not the mother, wife or grandma I could be if that one little tick didn't change it all.
I also know I am still the same mother, wife and grandma God has chose me to be. I can still love them and show them love as if that one little tick hadn't changed our lives.
I also know I have to choose every day as to not live in fear. What is still coming? What does our future hold? I have to choose to enjoy life as much as possible. Some days aren't so much fun, but other's are. Then I have to remind myself thank you God because this could all be so much worse! My life is terrific compared to a lot of people so thank you God for all you have given me, all of it is for a reason.
