Upsetting News
My 3 yr old got tested 3 weeks ago to see if she has Lyme, we finally got the results last night. Unfortunately she does have Lyme Disease :-( Which means I unknowingly gave it to her in utero. Looking back I think I have had it 9 years now. I am in a fog, I don't know what to think, I am numb but very upset at the same time. How can my innocent baby have such a terrible disease and now has quiet the fight ahead of her. It's not fair! She also has MCAD a metabolic disorder which is going to make things so much more complicated. If I feel like hell and don't want to eat, I don't! With her and her MCAD she HAS to eat or she will be in the hospital for her D10 IV. I foresee a lot of hospital stays in our future. All I can say is it sucks, and it's not fair she has to suffer.

Julie- I am so so sorry to hear your little one has Lyme. I face the same thing with my 4 and 7 yr old girls. We just haven't had the money to get them tested. I am hoping to do it after the first of the year. I am almost certain my 7 yr old has it based on some ongoing health issues she has had. I know you must feel horrible. Just try and remember it is not your fault. You didn't know, there was nothing you could have done. I will pray for you and for her. At least you have cuaght it somewhat early. Hopefully you can take care of it quick. I don't think I really have any words that can make you feel better, just know you are not alone. Love, Jessica
ReplyDeleteMy three year old also has congenital Lyme. We just found out a few months ago. I know how you feel! Hugs,
