Mariah's Lyme Medical Fund

Mariah's Lyme fight continues

Hello Friends,

Well while taking Mariah to Germany for Lyme treatment likely saved her life it unfortunately did not clear up all of Mariah's health issues.

While in Germany Mariah's health plummeted and we nearly lost her multiple times.  Also the plane trip home may have caused a TIA resulting in a week and a half long hospital stay after arriving back in Canada.   Mariah stopped breathing several times during this particular time in her lyme journey.

Where Mariah is currently standing healthwise. 
The following is a special note from Mariah:
-------------------------------------------------------------
  My friends, my brother's and sister's in Christ, strangers who have not met me in the flesh but have wanted to help  me whether financially loving me through this all, the messages and check ins, the endless encouragement I've gotten from so many faithful friends.. I cherish it all. So much so I'm bouncing off the sides of this head of mine, all the dreams and desires I now have that have heightened beyond all I've ever felt and known. 
  At this time last year I thought I was going home. Literally. Through the TIA accident (undectectable minor brain stroke) hasn't been so minor. The story to that is long and well long ahah but I have faith in my God He is not done with me yet and I will get the chance to share it all with you someday. For now I will update you on my state, where my family and I really need your continued support. And I'm going to be honest.
  Germany did save my life, my family know's it, I know it, the doctors and staff in Germany saw it, but  our health profession here did not. It was the most horrendous but the most beautiful experience I have ever had being that far deep in the valley. I was sent home just hanging on, honestly Jesus Christ is the reason I'm still here, for reasons I'm seeing and for a season ahead I do not YET. He had to walk me back to life as a soul because my soul longed for Him and heaven. But He showed me, told me I want you to fight. My under 90 pound rack of bones, light layer of skin and a very confused sick body and brain didn't know how but He did. And I can't help but praise Him for it every single day. 
  Where I am now is a confusing one that's hard to explain.. I am walking with no wheelchair or crutches or double knee braces to keep my knees in place. I have motivation to fight for many reasons, but my body is very sick. This summer was a huge challenge for me. The sun does wonders helping my pain and clear my mind to rest in a sunny daze but I barely got outside. I layed in bed waking up crying or moaning when my body knew the sun was out before I did and I couldn't get to it. My nausea is to an extreme, I barely eat, I rather go hungry then suffer from the pain food causes my stomach and the rest of my body. I have such weakness in every area of my body I can barely keep up with conversation most days. I feel like I'm stuck in this sick coma body until the Lord lift's where I need lifting and that seems to be 24/7. I can not talk without my eyes being closed, if it does happen and its clear OH HAPPY DAY! I have this light pole pain going straight through my chest to my back almost everyday. I have parasites galore coming out of me because how sick my entire immune system is, how I can feel every single organ inflame. Every part of me is suffering from this disease, but the suffering of having my family watch me over and over again, attack after attack, rough day after rough day. I'll be honest it's really hard on the heart. Making that video asking for help was not easy, my pride was shattered. How I saw myself shattered. But learning what help brings, asking and seeking it saved my life.
  Yes I smile through the pain because God gives me so many reasons to smile, fighting to live will never end till He does take me home. But we still need your help. I have now more body demands, more unending medications and prescriptions and every week treatment since I was 18, I am 22 now. We have a direction we are taking with a new oral protocol that I will be on for 3 months that will take me right out, I'm preparing myself and extremely excited for this because of another Lyme sufferer healed from it. So I will also ask for prayers there when I start that.
  I now too watch and help out my mom battle this dreadfull disease and the reality of this all is setting in. Scarying me no, I know Who's in charge, He will provide. But reality is reality, it's tough and you have to fight through it however that may be. We need help on so many fronts but all I can do is ask from my heart if you can help any way you can. I want to have my health back, the life I've been day dreaming about for the past 5 years. It's crazy to think this all started at the age of 10 warming up to play the game I love soccer and it led to a life of surviving numerous invadors who've tried to kill me numerous times, so many I can not recall them all. Believe me I am on fire to get better, my soul soaring actually with the drive I have. 
   I want to thank every single one of you in person, and I pray that I get a chance one day. Every one of you have been apart of this crazy ride of saving my life and I am humbled to the floor with thankfulness that people do care. What a network you'd never experience without being ill, and I cant help but be utter grateful for you all! Please for now reach through the screen and receive the huge hug I just sent you and soak it all in like I do from all of you. Truly with everything in me, thank you thank you  THANK YOU! So much love for all of you my heart could explode:)

We are seeing a LLND out in BC who is doing his best to help Mariah.

Our medical expenses are out of this world and unfortunately we are in a one income household - for example: Mariah has extreme nausea. We have tried several anti nausea medications our most recent is called Zofran. The cost of this medication was in the thousands with no guarantee the medication would work for her nausea. Out goes that cash bring home the meds and nope they do nothing for the nausea. She is also now experiencing severe bone pain that we are puzzled by but also a bit concerned about.  What a nightmare. 

We thank you all who have already donated and we thank those that continue to donate. We honestly could not do this without the help. Its very humbling to say the least.

Funds go towards - medications or medical equipment needed for survival ie: oxygen concentrator, travel costs ect....


We are hoping to save and or raise funds to purchase a special matt called iMRS - it is effective in helping in pain management (cost of said product - :( iMRS Professional - $8105 CDN)
