Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[peteyfoozer]

and I was thinking the exact same thing as @farmerjan -- both the tick and the vaccine.

No vaccine. Her mom was forced to take it by the hospital but thankfully she protected the girls from taking it. Tick is a possibility but none were found on her and no visible site of tick bite

This is not being asked for any controversial discussion... PLEASE don' t take it for that...

Has she been tested for any Tick diseases???? If not, they should run a full panel of tick diseases... There are a few that are more prevalent in the west... Borrelia Miyamotoi, Colorado tick fever, LYME, and several others... They don't just occur in the areas that they are common in... and they don't always have the symptoms that are "commonly seen"... I had the bulls eye rash.... VERY PROMINENT - and have been tested negative for Lyme 3 times... wound up with the Alpha Gal - red meat allergy ..... and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever.....

Please ask them to do blood work for tick borne diseases... Better to rule it out than to not know..

One other thing... was she vaccinated during the Covid insanity???? Many that were healthy kids have had problems down the road... seems to affect more young people than older ones...

I am so sorry to hear that you contracted those!!

You don't often have a visible sign of a tick bite... and you may never see the one that bit you. I was lucky to see the rash, got fck'd over by drs for months.. made a BIG STINK... then did not get notified about it... and SUFFERED from flu/pneumonia symptoms... with diarrhea...for 3 more months..... that is the Alpha Gal...
Friend's dad was in hospital in Conn... almost died... turns out he had Ehrlichiosis... tick disease...
Never saw a tick...

There are what they call soft bodied ticks in the west... prominent in high altitude areas... they say no feeling the bite and stay on less that 30 minutes and drop off.
Please push blood work for the tick diseases.... ELIMINATE it from possibilities...

I don’t think a tick but would cause that chest X-ray. To me it looks like pneumonia and maybe causing sepsis. They should have a good idea by now from the testing.

We will continue to lift her up in prayer.

Us too!

It's sad to say but I also think this same thing now each time someone comes up sick from things like this.

I did not know this about the soft bodied ticks and the short bite time.

Cody is going to make sure they test for the tick diseases. She’s not improved at all. Still 103 temp and 130 HR

 

[farmerjan]

I don't mean to be so pushy about the tick diseases... It is just that they need to be ruled OUT.

Because they have so many symptoms that are similar to other things, that they go undetected... I am not thinking she has the Alpha Gal, but possibly one of the other ones that are flu like, fevers, and one seems to cause high heart rates... cannot remember off hand.
Doxycycline is the antibiotic of choice for a good number of the diseases...

I hope they find out what is causing it soon.

I agree completely. My cousin’s son nearly died from weird stuff caused by ticks…it took years before they figured it alk out too, which scares me. The lack of response to treatment is scaring me badly and seeing Cody with so much more trauma in his life is crushibg me. His ex wife is being horrible as usual, it’s like she takes pleasure in hurting him.

There is no point in being hateful in a situation like this. I do hope he has been to court to get his child support lowered because his income has vanished. She will get her just reward.
