I really wish I could go - I'm only 60 miles away. But I can't get away - my kids have 8 infusions between them tomorrow.

 

I sent a letter to our Congressman telling him our story - 2 kids with Lyme that went undiagnosed for many years. I sent photos of them hooked up to IV's. Sob story - I figure it can't hurt. I'm praying that others will be able to attend.
