Last week Michele was doing a lot better for several days, and we got our hopes up that there was healing taking place. However, her symptoms returned on Friday. Saturday she had a fairly good day, yesterday, not so good. Today, also, she is somewhat weak and shaky.

We are going later today to have more blood taken for additional tests ordered by her neurologist. Michele also has a 48-hr. EEG scheduled for May 23, which will require an in-hospital stay. We will be talking to her neurologist again later this week.

One thing that a number of people have told us to do is to verify with the doctor whether they have tested Michele for Lyme Disease (see http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/). Apparently Michele’s symptoms mirror those of people who have had this disease. One website we have consulted lists dozens of symptoms and says that if someone has at least 20 of the symptoms listed, there is a high probability that that person has the disease. Michele identified 39 symptoms from the list that she has experienced. It gives us some hope that this might be the answer, but we really don’t know until/unless tests are done.

Most days I am staying home and trying to do work remotely when I can. We continue to appreciate the inquiries and prayers of many.
