Small Update

Sorry for the lack of blogging. I guess not much is going on or at least there isn't much to report. The biggest thing going on right now is I am not able to take my antibiotics which scares me because then the baby isn't protected. When I take them I end up throwing them up. We have tried calling the doctor every week and the receptionist tells us he will call us back but he doesn't. I don't believe it is the doctors fault based on something another patient told me. I think the receptionist isn't giving the doctor the messages. So we are going to keep trying and hopefully we will be able to get something to help so I can take the medicine to help protect the baby.

20 weeks pregnant and being pregnant with #5 makes you big fast!

In regards to the baby we find out tomorrow if we are having a boy or girl and I am now over 20 weeks along so I have hit the half way mark. We are 90% sure it is a girl but find out for sure tomorrow and are very excited! I can't wait to see my baby. The baby uses me as a punching bag and I have to say I don't mind. At least when I am getting kicked non stop I know the baby is doing ok. Lyme has sure made this pregnancy hard and made it so I can't relax. I worry about everything.

20 weeks!

Well, I guess that is it for now! I hope you all are doing well

Lyme is Never Ending...

I am so sick of Lyme disease. I hate how it messes up people's lives and I just hate the whole darn thing. We are now on the path to seeing if our 6 year old daughter, Madison, has lyme disease. For the past several months she has been complaining of body aches, stomach pains, had unexplained fevers, and she seems to have these behavior outbursts that are a lot like those of lyme rage. She is on the autism spectrum but as most lymies know lyme can cause behaviors that mimic autism so she may not really have autism.

We have taken her to the pediatrician several times but they said it is either anxiety or she is making it up. We know she isn't making it up because you can see the pain in her eyes and no child can fake that pain.

It is possible I gave it to her in utero or it is possible she got bit by a tick when we went to Arkansas in 2008 which is where I got re bit. She did have some sort of bug attached to her while there and we got it off but nothing never seemed to come of it.

We have put in a call to my lyme doc to see if he will see her but I am not sure he will since he typically doesn't see kids. If he wont see her then we will ask if he can recommend anyone we can take her too. We really don't want to go down this road with her and we are praying that it isn't lyme disease but based on my history we think we need to get it checked out.


My heart will break if she does have it. Please pray for my little Princess!
