Many of you have asked for more details regarding Riley’s diagnosis of Lyme disease and the troubles we have encountered accessing appropriate treatment for him. This blog is an attempt to fill in some of these details.
We will also use the blog as a way to keep in touch and communicate updates as Riley progresses with treatment.
Please go to the above link “Riley’s Journey with Lyme Disease” to read the story of Riley's deteriorating health this past year.
Many people have been perplexed as to why Lyme Disease is so controversial and why diagnosis and effective treatment in Canada is unavailable.
To better understand the controversy, we have done lots of reading, consulting and questioning to figure out what is going on (or should we say not going on) with the treatment of this disease in Canada.
If you link to “Lyme 101” you can read a summary of what we have learned about Lyme disease, other infections carried by ticks, and diagnosis and treatment issues.
Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive and caring during these past months. We feel incredibly blessed and grateful for your support.
Riley has felt very cared for and knows that he is surrounded by people who are “cheering him on”. He continues to astound us with his positive attitude, deep faith and gentle but determined spirit.
