a sobering but important question

[Guest guest]

I have a 4 and 5 year old who have had Lyme and co-infections for the

past 2.5 years. They started antibiotics around 4 months after being

infected and are still on loads of medication. I'm writing because I

need some help creating two different lists:

1) A list of possible future problems either child may have (as it is

my son lost all of his speech when he got infected at age two and has

been in speech therapy 5x/wk -- we are playing the waiting game to see

about other developmental delays). The list should include problems

that are small, like diarrhea or big like kidney damage or severe

allergic reactions to a drug or developmental delays. As sobering as

this will be to read, it is important.

2) The second list is of possible future expenses. Everything from

obvious ones like lab work, doc appts, speech therapy etc., to more

obscure ones like the cost of eating gluten free, possible tutoring,

possible long-term problems that lead to spending money, etc.

If you all could simply tell me what you have been dealing with (or

resources where I might find this information) and costs I may not be

expecting, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for you help!
