Taking a break for health.

It's probably time for an update on Amber. It's been a brutal and slightly hopeful couple of weeks. I don't want to sugar coat it so I'll just get straight to the point. Here is what we know. Due to numerous abdominal surgeries dealing with endometriosis and PCOD she had a weakened immune system. Then five years ago came the little tick who I am quite certain was birthed straight from the gates of hell. She tested positive over three years later, (after several weird symptoms that were never diagnosed), for Lyme disease and about every co-infection known to man. Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and numerous others. It's been a hard twenty months of treatment including, massive amounts of antibiotics (oral and IV), IV ozone treatments, IV silver, IV UVLRX (laser UV light), two trips to Mexico which included more aggressive treatments. Hyperthermia, high dose Vitamin C, hyperbaric oxygen treatment, etc... Then about a month ago a new idea came into play. Blood tests revealed she had HTG Factor Beta 1 numbers over 21k, normal is less than 2k. Her CD57 less than 1, basically a massive mold infection. Next came suspicion of antibiotic resistant Staph. So we did a MARCON's test which also came back positive. Then came a VCS test (vision test) and she failed that which indicates swelling in the brain due to the previous things mentioned. All of this adds up to what her current symptoms are. Yes we have a plan. Yes it is going to be painful and hard on her. It includes a binding agent to help eliminate the mold (Cholestryamine) and a nasal spray called BEG. It will dissolve the biofilm and allow the Staph to be killed. This is where we start and it will take some time. She started today and has been quite sick. Pray for her, pray for all of us and hope as I do that this works. I do believe with all the information we have gained and her symptoms that this could be the missing link and the day we finally turn the tide. We are cautiously optimistic, she is sad, tired and wore out. Who could blame her, it's been a long road. Life has no guarantees, it's not easy, but we do believe in God and our faith has kept us going. We will endure this and be looking back, one day, from the other side.
