Husband got home from the hospital yesterday and is on the mend. Still

very tired but not like he was before the antibiotics.

Lyme is very scary stuff, and it could have killed him if he hadn't gone to the doctor to find out why he was so tired and his heart felt a little weird. Thank god we still had Medicaid to cover a trip to the ER and the hospital stay. Wish we weren't about to lose it in a few months. Life is a lot less stressful when you are scared of hospital bills!

I can imagine just how truly frightened you were...

I hope his recovery is uneventful and permanent!

a heart monitor until the end of the month, and get weekly blood draws to make sure things are still improving.

It was not a good week, but thinking back on how the boys have each gotten Lyme when they were little and that this could have happened to them, way scarier!
