Medical Update from Today

I saw my therapist, physician, and chiropractor today.  Whew, it was a wearing day.  

This past week I have been having seizures and I had one fall.  I was supposed to see my chiropractor first and then my doctor, but I really wanted to see Dr. Knight (physician) first.  I didn't know if being adjusted would effect the outcome of my appointment or not.  

Fortunately, it worked out and I got to see Dr. Knight first (thank you Dr. Purtle for your patience).  The Lymes are decreasing in my blood (PRAISE GOD!)  However, Dr. Knight thinks the seizure activity is related to the Lymes.  See, the Lymes and the antibiotic are fighting a battle within my body.  The longer the battle the more the side effects.  We are just keeping a good watch and taking it one moment at a time.

The first round of antibiotics will be completed on Christmas Day.  On Monday, December 27th I will have more blood drawn to test the Lymes level.  I will be off of any antibiotics for 2 weeks.  I will then go back in to see Dr. Knight to receive the results of the blood test and determine further treatment.


Please continue to pray for Jeff and me as we continue this travel.  Also, please keep us both in your prayers as we are both having some medical procedures done on Thursday.  Thanks!


After seeing Dr. Knight, Dr. Purtle got a hold of me :)  I was really out of whack from having the fall and the seizure and my goodness I sounded like popcorn exploding with all the cracking and things being moved back into alignment.  Dr. Purtle surely received a work out by working on me.  Poor thing :(


Again, I really appreciate your love and support.  I never expected experiencing something like this in my life, but it does have it's blessings.  I am becoming much closer to my family (especially Jeff) and friends, but even more importantly I am drawing ever closer to Jesus.  He truly is the Healer.  I have no doubt that He will heal me in His time and according to His will.  That knowledge and knowing He is with me always, every step of the way, carries me through.  Thank You Jesus!


Love you all dearly,
Sydni
