Wow. My husband had untreated (and undiagnosed) Lyme for what we now believe was at least 5 years. Please also get tested for other tick borne illnesses (erlichiosis is the one my husband had at the same time...) and make sure you get retested when you finish the round(s) of doxycycline.
It can definitely explain the rheumatoid symptoms, and the fatigue. Hopefully they've caught it early enough! I'd also get Ed and the boys tested.
Hi! I'm Kate. I'm a positive thinker, an amateur blogger, a fashion don't, a jokester, and a reality TV junkie. I'm also very lucky to be a stay at home Mom to Gavin and Brian. I have a husband that has a big laugh, a big heart and a big talent for cooking. (Thank God) Our life is not always easy, but it turns out it's more than I ever dreamed it would be. I write about Gavin's disability, his miraculous progress, Brian's successful recovery from a peanut allergy and a speech delay, my Rheumatoid Arthritis and infertility journey and our crazy, incredible, roller coaster of a life. I also remember and honor our daughter, Darcy, who we met after 5 1/2 months of my pregnancy.
I feel honored that you're here to get to know us.

Thank you for visiting and caring about our family!
Gavin's Trust Project
I created "Gavin's Trust Project" to help support Gavin's friends who receive services from the Chester County Intermediate Unit in Pennsylvania. I wanted to continue to try to "make the impossible... possible" for kids like Gavin, knowing well how hard it can be to get much needed "special needs" items. It makes me happy to know that even after his death, Gavin continues to help others. All of your donations, big and small, will be added to Gavin's Trust Project to help therapists and teachers get what they need for children in this program. You can click the donate button (you don't need a PayPal account!) or, if you'd prefer, mail a check made out to CCIU and mail to Chester County Intermediate Unit, c/o Nancy Saul, 455 Boot Rd., Downingtown, PA 19335. Please be sure to add "Gavin's Trust Project" in the memo. Thank you on behalf of me and my little superhero!
