prayers

I don’t always post, but am praying for those featured here on your blog. I am lifting up Lisa and Jenny and her family. May God wrap His loving arms around them and bring them healing.

Lisa D's Update

Remember Lisa D? Recently I reconnected with Lisa to find out how things were going.

Aside from Lyme Disease, Lisa's mother in law was re-diagnosed with a brain tumor. She spent most of the year with her. She took a turn for the worse and at the end of October she passed away. Please keep Lisa in your thoughts and prayers during this time.

At the end of 2009, Lisa and her husband saw their Lyme doctor. Her husband is doing much better. Lisa has also improved, but they are both still on their Lyme medications for at least another 6 months. Lisa has now been on them for a year straight. Lisa's doctor believes there is something else going on, but will test for that later.

Lisa wants everyone to know that she is praying for everyone that has Lyme, especially the young children that have been denied their childhood. She prays that God will make this a better year for all. In our healing and in our sickness, she says, "We need for the world to stop and look around, see those in pain and suffering and think of them."

It was my hope when I started this blog that we could reach out to others with Lyme Disease to show an outpouring of love and prayer. Please continue to pray for Lisa and her family.

We Fall Down by Chris Tomlin

We fall down
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of
Your Mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
Is the lamb
We fall down
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of
Mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
Is the lamb
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
Is the lamb

Prayers for Lisa D.

Dear Lord, I pray for healing for Lisa D. I pray that she has the strength to stay active and to heal. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Molly

Lisa D's Biography

Lisa D is a 45 year old Lyme patient from Creighton Missouri. Lisa has severe illnesses that would be concerning by themselves, but together they are creating a war inside her body. The two tick borne illnesses that Lisa has are Lyme Disease and Babesia. Babesia is the most problematic currently. Lisa also has been diagnosed with Lupus and Diabetes. She also has a condition called Hereditary Angio Edema. This is a rare swelling disorder that can affect the face, throat, feet, hands and stomach. It can be fatal if it is in the throat as the airway can be compromised.

Lisa also has two artificial joints (knee and elbow). This year her symptoms have changed so she has a potpourri of things that bother her. Lisa used to break and train horses for a living with her late husband. She lives on a farm and handles livestock daily. Lisa loves being outside and refuses to give that up because of Lyme and the other conditions that she has.

Lisa has always been an active person and wants to stay that way, but when she has rest she does. She thanks everyone who are praying!
