Music for Nancy

Arise sung by Chris Sligh

Stars go down in the western sky
The light fades in as the darkness dies
Sunlight, sweet sunlight
Brings the day that You’ve created

Perfect remedy
For all that tears at me

Arise, arise with the morning
Arise, your mercies are new
Arise, arise with the morning
That finds me running back to you

Darkness comes and covers all my faults
Tears fall down, sting my wounds like salt
Hopes fade, till I’m caught
In the day that you’ve created

I’m anxiously waiting
Redemption is brimming
With stories created
Each new day
I know you are coming

Prayer for Nancy

Dear Lord hear our prayers for Nancy. If it is your will, please bring healing to Nancy. Please keep those nasty ticks away from her so she does not get reinfected. Help her make good decisions about her health and treatment plans. Please guide her physicians, as well. Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers. Molly Caporale

Nancy's Biography

Nancy (a youngster at 45) is one of my North Carolina cohorts in the Lyme Disease world. We have scheduled a time to get together, but it was ruined by North Carolina weather! Silly thunderstorms that spawn Tornadoes.

Nancy began having flu like symptoms in April of 2005. About 3 weeks later, she had the tell tale sign ~ the Bullseye Rash. A doctor put her on Doxycycline for three weeks. After completing the three weeks of antibiotics, Nancy went back to the doctor feeling like she had been hit by a bus. Her doctor graciously gave her three more weeks of Doxycyline, but she was still not better. Nancy went to another doctor who put her on more Doxy. Finally in late 05/early 06, she found Dr. J (the infamous one from NC/SC).

After speaking with his staff and tons of blood work, they have decided she has no co-infections. Nancy has just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. She decided to do just oral medications. She was on them for 14 months. In July of 2007, she had a second tick bite. Nancy did several more weeks of Doxy. Nancy will always have some Lyme issues, but in general she feels well.

Nancy currently has Joint Pain, exhaustion and hearing issues. Nancy has four components to her treatment plan. She uses medication, nutritional supplements, a healthy diet and exercise.

Nancy's current prayer needs are that she can be strong and for her husband to find employment.
