Amber is my kind and loving sister-in-law. When she married my brother I know that neither of them could have imagined what their first year of marriage would bring. Amber was diagnosed with Lyme Disease earlier this year. In the time since her diagnosis her health has drastically gone down hill. For those who don't know what Lyme Disease is, it is a bacterial infection contracted by ticks. We suspect she has had it for many years. 

Symptoms vary from person to person, but as the disease progresses the symptoms inceasingly get worse. Lyme Disease mimicks other diseases because it attacks your organs which makes it incredibly difficult to get a diagnosis. For the last several years she has been struggling with health issues. Now that we have the diagnosis everything is starting to make sense. 

In recent weeks Amber has started having seizures, losing her eyesight on and off, and she is now unable to walk or even turn over from one side to another on her own.  The medicine that she has been on caused boils all over her body and that same night she went into anaphylactic shock and was rushed to the hospital. Right now the goal is to stabalize her so that they can get her out to Idaho for treatment. 

These are some recent pictures. 



Our family has been praying for answers on where to go from here and it seems where God is leading is a treatment center in Idaho. We have heard from several people that they wouldn't waste money on anything else. 

Our family is asking for prayers and anything you can do to help us get her out to Idaho for her treatment. Thank  you for your generosity!
