A PLAN OF ACTION

parker's test results are in.

they show reactivity/positive response to the borrelia spirochete (lyme bacteria)

so does parker have lyme or not?
we simply don't know...yet

it is complicated and difficult to explain,
basically, (very simply put),
he has antibodies in his blood that show that his body has been exposed to the bacteria and he tested positive to 'parts' of the bacteria but not all of it.

in order to make an accurate diagnosis, DR H needs to clinically evaluate him

here is a breakdown of parker's results for my lyme savvy readers:

Lyme IgG
30kDa +
41kDa ++
58kDa +

Lyme IgM
41kDa Ind
58kDa +


parker's appointment with DR H is scheduled for DEC 9
we will be leaving for California on Dec 7

this whole process is so incredibly difficult and beyond stressful
and i have wondered and wondered why it is being so dragged out and taking so long to get a diagnosis
we simply do not know
but we know that we can trust God's timing and direction
and
it is allowing us to process this in stages...
i know that i would not have been prepared for today's phone call on Monday.
but
early yesterday morning, God gave me the very same scripture that he gave me on the day that i was diagnosed with lyme (april 24, 2007)...

"We wouldn't think of writing this kind of letter about ourselves.
Only God can write such a letter.
His letter authorizes us to help
carry out this new plan of action."

God has given us a plan of action
and
we are at peace with it
