Marley's Magical Mind

I wanted to jump on real quick to give an update.  Marley and I have both been undergoing treatment for Lyme disease.  I am happy to say that Marley kicked it's butt !!!! It took two rounds of antibiotics, but she is now feeling much better.  I also was able to defeat Lyme, but the parasite, Babesia, decided to stick around a little longer.  I have been on antibiotics, antimalarial and antiprotozoal medications.  I have been exhausted, to say the least.  The past few weeks have been a little better with the exhaustion but I still have the stomach issues associated with this disease and also the medicines.   I am grateful that my family and I have the means to be able to treat this and live the rest of our lives happy and healthy! I appreciate all the support my family and friends have extended out to us. Sometimes just being able to vent about how awful I felt was enough to alleviate any discomfort I had.   Love to all, Vanessa

No biggie.  But on June 28 we were at a friends birthday BBQ and it suddenly came back for two days!!! And went away again! Weird......but, ok, her body is fighting off a stomach thing. So I thought.  On July 3 Marley woke up covered in a strange looking rash. They looked like bullseye's!!! She was covered in them. She looked like a giraffe!!!!!!! Just one side of her arm On one side of her back I  told hubby to take her to the doctor, but everyone thought I was over reacting.  NEVER TELL AN AUTISM MOM SHE IS OVER REACTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I was also brutally tired and thought mayb...
