Things for Thane are going downhill overall despite a few good afternoons over the past couple weeks. If you get this in time, please keep us in your thoughts today (July 19) After a crisis scenario from yesterday which probably is just beginning, Thane and I are headed to a specialist this morning. Its the last thing I wanted to need to do with him in his severely reactive state from either Lyme die off, drug reaction, or the disease or another co-infection itself, but its the right thing to do since his vet is less Lyme literate than I am. I've had a crash course in it the last few weeks thanks to my good friend Sharon at the After Gadget blog I'm heart sick, aching for his help and return to good health, and feel like I should wake up from this sleep-based nightmare at any moment. I just want our life and partnership back! Karyn and Thane
