It's getting late and I've been emailing and calling so many people in an effort to find the right doctor. Lyme's disease has very few willing participants in the medical community and I'm beginning to figure out why. It's so difficult to treat.
In short, I'm afraid Coleman can't physically handle a trip to Florida. I probably can't get him in to the practice that feels so right in northern Va, and I've yet to find a doc here in town that really understands. I promised Coleman I would find him someone before the sun set tomorrow and that is a promise I intend to keep.
I'll never understand the complexities of the medical community, truly never.
Please continue to pray for the right doc and combination of docs and the treatment to follow. We feel we have one card left to play when it comes to taking Coleman somewhere and it needs to be the right one.
Coleman ate much more today which was good, maybe too much and his evening and night have been difficult. It's like there are mind demons that haunt him when he is trying to go to sleep and I pray over him often. These are his hardest times.
Thank you for making us your homepage, for sending dinner, for praying for talking with friends in the medical community and for sending your love our way.

Mel,
ReplyDeleteMy niece had lyme disease her freshman year of college. She was not as sick as Coleman,but she had a bad year. She recently graduated from college and is fine. They live in Northern Va and all though she was at VA Tech she traveled home for treatment. I will call my sister in Law tomorrow and see if I can get a name of her Dr. Maybe that could be a lead. I will call you as soon as I know something.

Hi Mel!
ReplyDeleteHere is a website I found that might help. I guess you have already seen it. Try looking for doctors in Chicago. We have loads of space and an extra car too.
