Update

Tristan is amazing us more and more each day!  We feel blessed.  Lately he has decided to start playing with toys and reading books - two things he had no interest in before.  He has really started interacting more and more with his young brother Jake.  This picture from Halloween is the first time we were not only able to get him to stand next to Jake, but to look at the camera.  He did this on command.  This simple task is such a big deal in our world.   He continues to be very loving towards others.  Just wanted to show some updated pictures of him and how he is growing so fast!  Tristan is currently not on antibiotics but remains on probiotics, Vitamin D and other herbal supplements.  His continued progress amazes those who know him best. 

 
 Another big development in our lives is that Tristan has been accepted to receive an autism trained service dog from Retrieving Freedom Inc.  We found out that he should receive a service dog within the next six months!!!  We are so excited for him.  If you want more information on how these dogs will help Tristan, we have set up a blog site "A Dog For Tristan" at http://adogfortristan.blogspot.com/ .
 
This is a picture of Tristan with service dog, "Tu", at a fundraiser set up by my inlaws, Mark and Denise Kuhn, this summer.  It is amazing how these dogs have such a calming affect on him.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tristan and I are doing much better these days.  Although in the past I have taken breaks from treatment, I am currently on continued antibiotic treatment along with herbal and other natural supplements.  I continue to exercise and eat a healthy diet daily (organic as much as possible).  Physically I am feeling 95% better than when I starting treatment almost 3 years ago.   We are taking things one day at a time.   We feel so blessed to have found the Lyme Disease when we did.  It has changed our lives and our son's for the better!

  1. Hi... I just watched your husband's presentation at the ILADS conference and came to check out your blog. I was just diagnosed with Lyme after being misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia for 16 years. I've had 2 children in that time and, while they don't have signs of autism like your son, they do have some symptoms that concern me and am thinking of getting them tested soon. So... I was reading through your blog and was pleasantly surprised to learn that you are in Iowa. I live in Waterloo. So, I'm hoping maybe we could chat from time to time. I just started a blog as well... thelymeproject.blogspot.com. I do also have a page for it on Facebook, so maybe we can connect there? Thanks for sharing your story.

  2. Hi I just watched your husbands presentation at the ILADS conference - thanks to you both for sharing your journey. Keep blogging because it will be so useful for others to share.
    I started my Looking at Lyme blog in November 2009 now with over 129000 page views so far and between 400-500 page views a day I am hoping it helps raise awareness as well as being a useful resource for me.
    I will share your blog with Facebook friends in the Autism world and come back to read some more later.

    Good luck with your treatment and that of your son

  4. Hi I have a similar story I had a lot of health problems before and after the birth of my boys. I had Shingles MRSA and impetigo infections. I am from CT everyone I know has Lymse. I have never been tested. I had my 5 year old tested and it came back negative. I know there are alot of false negatives. I was wondering did you provoke lymse in your children with natural or regular antibiotics? Thank you

  8. As a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication, , and he always complain of poor eye contact . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to autism . I never imagined autism has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098765@gmail.com on how to get the medication.

  19. HOW I WAS CURED TOTALLY FROM AUTISM
    I had my first attack of (AUTISM) when I was a kid, I wasn't diagnosed until seven years later when I was totally experiencing speech delay. It was so terrifying that I began dropping things and losing sensitivity to sounds, having severe fatigue and muscle weakness. A horrible poor eyes contact began. I sometimes can't walk straight and fall onto walls and I get leaning disability, the English medications i used proved abortive. i was so frustrated that i had to contact My neurologist,he told me about a new RRMS (relapsing-remitting MS) drug which was only in its trial stage, CAMPATH. I started the chemo-type treatment and some prescribed drugs like: RISPERDAL, EFFEXOR XR, GEODON and MEMANTINE. which resulted in 1st seizure of my life, thereby adding more salt to my injury. As a result to proffer solution to my problems, i started going online in search for a cure, i came across a testimony of a woman who got her son cure through HERBAL MEDICATION, at first, i doubted because of the misconception that autism can not be cured. But i later contacted the Doctor through the email provided, and I used his Herbal product, after 1 month of use, I noticed tremendous improvement in my health, 5 months after, I can proudly say, I've been totally cured by Dr.williams Herbal Medication from AUTISM..., If you have the same health issue, you may contact him for a total change of story, Via: drwilliams098675@gmail.com . I believe your predicament will be a thing of the past just like mine.
