Randon's Lyme disease treatments

Donation protected
In 2008 Randon got really sick. He started sleeping with 8 ice packs wrapped around his hands to his elbows to deal with the pain. He described them to me as gloves of fire. This went on for another 2 years. The doctor diagnosed him with carpel tunnel but he didn't believe him and declined surgery. In 2010 I was life flighted to the University of Washington's medical center where I delivered our Daughter Ella at 25 weeks, 1lbs. 6oz., and was in the NICU for 5 months. During that time Randon's health dramatically declined his syptoms spreading to his back and stomach. He started seeing doctors for his stomach and back but tests came back normal. We tried anything and everything from western to alternative medicine, elimination diets, and nothing seemed to help.  Doing his own research over the years Lyme Disease kept popping up but he dismissed it due to doctors advice. After 14 medical doctors and no real answers he became convinced it was Lymes. He researched the best lab in the country for testing for Lymes and ordered the kit from Igenex. He called around and found a doctor that would draw his blood and send it to Igenex. 2 weeks later we got the results and finally we got the answer we'd been praying for for all these years, possitive for Igg and Igm antibodies to fight Lymes in the blood.
     Through donations and maxing out credit we were able to get him into the West Clinic in Pocatello, ID to see Dr. Jason West. Who is the best Lyme Disease doctor in the country. It has been a hope building experience to talk with dozens of his patients in the IV room. He has had amazing success and we've been able to witness first hand meeting other patients everyday.  Because Randon has had Lymes for so long it's going to take awhile to get his health back on track. We really need financial support at this time so he can continue treatment and help pay for medical bills that are already coming through. Any amount is greatly appriciated. Thank you so much for all your help and support. I will keep you all updated as his condition changes.
