I'll pray for Laura and her family. This prayer request really touches my heart.

It was three years ago this May that my oldest went through something similar.




This post was so touching. I think as mothers we can all imagine how Laura's mother feels--anxious, lonely, scared, worried about the five at home trying to keep the house together (oldest girl is 13 down to 2 yo.). Other HS families are helping with them. Laura is in a children's hosital 1 hour away--not easy!

No answers for Laura as of yesterday. She is in a lot of pain and the fevers continue. Storm heaven. Although her mother is not a part of the forum, I'll tell her sometime how women all over the world held Laura's intention in their hearts.

Some of the doctors are leaning toward a tick-born illness. The main doctor is not convinced.

Laura is in lots of pain and fevers continue. They are hoping to pin it down tonight or tomorrow. That's all I know.

I'll update when I know more. Thank you for praying.

Laura is home now and hopefully those fever won't come back as they had been doing. She is eating and drinking now. Her parents are grateful for the prayers.

They never knew what she had and probably never will. The doctors say it goes into the "God only knows" file.

That is so wonderful to read, Sarah! My girls have be remembering Laura daily in our family prayers. They really identified after what we had been through.

Our situation fell into the "God only knows" file too. When dd was so sick, it seemed so important to find the cause and understand what was going on. But you know what? It really didn't matter once she was home and recuperating. May God bring Laura back to full health quickly.

They found Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

A tick-born illness that can be VERY serious if antibiotics are not started in time. She was well out of the safe time frame by the time they were started. Praise God she is well . . .

Oh! Thanks be to God they discovered what it was! My 11 year old daughter had Lyme's disease; the unknown is so frightening.

I pray for the intentions here but don't always post. I'm so thankful for the update.

Sarah, What a relief for her family to know what it is and address it. We will continue our prayers!
