Hello everyone, it’s Noah. Just wanted to post a quick update about Megan since it’s been a while. It can’t be said enough, THANK YOU to everyone who has given in any way. Whether it be funds, prayers, or presence, in supporting Megan you’ve truly been keeping a light of the community going, even if things seem dim sometimes. Megan’s recovery since the last update has been slow, and at times even discouraging, but overall it has been moving in the right direction. She’s continued her home-therapy regimen and has moved into a new round of peptide therapy which has improved her day-to-day quality of life. These injections cost $3,750 every 4 months, and will likely need to continue until we reach the finish line. The main goal is still to get her out to Dr. Keiser’s specialized facility for another round of treatment in Michigan. As with the last round, this would cost $20,000, or, in an ideal world, we’d keep her out there an extra week for $30,000 total. Unfortunately, saving up for the aforementioned expenses has hit some roadblocks. Megan’s mom, Susan, who was doing a lot of the heavy lifting with bills and expenses, has been out of work with a hip issue that she’s been awaiting surgery for. With Susan out of work, there’s no stable income in the house, and although Megan’s friends and community have rallied around her, there’s still a difficulty foreseeing how we can get her the money she needs to continue her treatments, not to mention the daily expenses piling up while Susan is off her feet. A couple friends have come together to plan an upcoming fundraising event called “Pickleball for Purpose” in May that will hopefully serve to illuminate the path forward. If you’re able, please come out to show your support. (You can register by scanning the QR code on the promotional image below). It would mean the world to Megan and everyone who loves her. If you can’t attend the event but you’d still like to continue supporting her, please donate whatever you can. And one final request, please keep both Megan and Susan in your prayers for the Lord’s healing, loving, merciful hand to be upon them. Thank you all again for your help. God bless.

Day 4 of 14 Today was another big day. We started the day with sound healing and then stretching. We had another ultrasound, and everything came out good. Next, we had Autohemotherapy, Ozone with UV blood transfusions, 1.5hrs in the Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber, energy therapy, met with the psychology consult, and 2 rounds of IV fusions. Today was all about getting my moms body ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be the biggest day yet. She will be undergoing Hyperthermia for 4.5hrs. They will be heating her body up to 107°F to kill the Lyme. Once she is out, she will be getting 6 more rounds of IV fusions back to back. Procedures start at 715am - 6pm. Send those prayers! Tomorrow is a big step to kill the Lyme! Day 4 Complete!

Thank you all for your donations and support - your generosity has exceeded all our expectations and the Prada family has been blown away by the kindness shown by so many different people, from people they've never met but jumped in without hesitation to donate funds, to those who went out to meet them in person and drop off supplies. While we wish the Pradas' journey didn't have to end this way, we are incredibly grateful of how you all have contributed in such a tangible and meaningful way - THANK YOU!

Leu has been healing really well from her right FHO! She is already able to kinda run again—I didn’t know if she ever would. We’ve taken many 45+ minute sniffari-walks this week Her right hip surgery (FHO) is tomorrow, 4/9. I feel much more confident this time because now I know how quickly she will heal—and what a HUGE, positive impact this surgery has had on her quality of life. I’m so excited for her to run around again and live a pain-free life. I am facing the same costs as the first surgery, so if you can, please donate and share. Everything helps. Thank you so much for your support; y’all have changed our lives. Love, Mikayla & Leu ♥️
