Lyme Disease 101

In case you were wondering what Lyme Disease looks like...here is a "Classic Case" of what Lyme Disease looks like approximately 3-4 weeks after being stung. Perhaps if Ryan hadn't been so modest we would have noticed it earlier...but it has been diagnosed at "exactly the right time." He is on a strong anti-biotic for 2 weeks. Then in 3 or so weeks they'll do blood work to be sure it is gone!!

He will be fine...other symptoms he had (that were making us think strep before Mom noticed the above) were:

headache
sore throat
sore all over especially legs
dizzy when he stood up

Anyway, we are thankful we caught it early enough. We noticed the bite 3 weeks ago...but it stopped bothering him and was looking like it was getting better...but hadn't looked at it for a while and this Mom was quite shocked when I saw that leg this morning.

Stay away from ticks!! We never saw the tick...only a bite that we thought was a spider bite...
Adventures in Parenthood continues to be quite a trip!?!

Ode to Steve

Your life began with a purpose,

To educate the minds of third graders

Task completed you were sent to a new home

To rest and tease feline invaders

Green Lake took us away from you

Two nights alone, We were dummies

We had no idea our cats would conspire

And now you reside in their tummies.

Speaking of simpatico...

Debbie, and the rest of you, make sure you check out the 4th of July story on my blog.

What are the chances???

O.K. so I'm at my friend's house (yes I have a friend, well... she is actually the mother of one of Maggie's friends and a neighbor, but I do also consider her a friend)...she is a Reggae fan...I happen to mention that my nephew's band, Nat*y Nat*on, is back together and playing.

As I am saying this my cell phone in my pocket rings and I look at the caller ID and there is a picture of Aaron!! I like..."oh my God...it's my nephew!!! - Hello???"...

Well it ended up being Deboe Blue Jean... saying..."Are you coming??"

I said..."Deboe...this is BETSY!!"

She thought she was calling Carolyn...and got me.

It was a short conversation...but I am still in awe that Aaron's phone called my phone at the moment I am talking about him...

SIMPATICO!!!!!
