June Update

I know it's been a while since I posted so here's an update.

 Jarod went to Baltimore Woods Nature Center with Mark's 2nd grade class.  Mark doesn't look like he's  having a very good time- because unknown to us he had been suffering from Lyme disease for the last 3 weeks.

 After this picture was taken, Jarod brought him home and Mark went to sleep.  He awoke 4 hours later with a  sore neck and a fever.  Noticing signs of meningitis we decided to take him to urgent care.  The dr there was concerned, but no spinal tap was ordered and we were told to monitor his temp.  The next day he went to the pediatrician of a follow up where a blood test was ordered.  Six long days later we were informed that he tested positive for Lyme.  21 days of antibiotics.  I never saw a tick, never saw a bullseye- the most common signs of Lyme.  Now that I know the other symptoms to look for I want to inform others so they and their children do not needlessly suffer.  Prompt treatment is best.

 In the meantime we had a beaver lodge in our house...

Guitar lessons... 

Having fun in spite of the illness and the RAIN.........
