Cautious Optimism

We are being cautiously optimistic about Nathan. A new doctor that we have been seeing has told us that Nathan has a couple of things that could be his problem. He tested positive for an Amoeba that he probably caught when we were in the Dominican Republic a few years ago and he also tested slightly positive for a few coinfections that come with Lyme Disease. The test showed he has had Lyme Disease in the past but it is not acitve now and he still tests positive for Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis. We will begin treatment for the Amoeba today and see how that goes and then treat the others when the first treatment is well underway. I am keeping my fingers crossed and a prayer in my heart.
