Medical Update from Today's Appointment

Just giving you a brief update. 

I saw my doctor today and my blood work was back.  When I had my first test to determine that I have Lyme's my number was 37.  Half way through my first round of antibiotics my number had dropped to 33.  Today we received the result of my blood draw post my first round of antibiotics.  Unfortunately it has gone back up and is now 38.  As a result, I started my second round of antibiotics this evening.  I will have another blood test in 3 weeks.  My doctor wants the number to stay below 20.

I would greatly appreciate your continued prayers.  In the past 24 hours I have had 5 seizures.  The fifth seizure took place today in my doctor's office.  Unfortunately, seizures are a side effect of Lyme's.  Hopefully with the new antibiotic the seizures will decrease, but in is uncertain.

Thanks for your love & support,
Sydni
