In the past month things have gotten significantly worse for Chris. Her heart is now involved. Heart complications are the #2 killer of chronic Lyme Disease sufferers. After a brief period of relief this past summer, due largely to finding a knowledgeable doctor willing to try aggressive new treatments, her symptoms have once again taken a rapid decline and her doctor wants her to try a more aggressive approach with IV therapy. He is hopeful that this will get her infection load down and give her body a chance to fight and her heart a chance to mend itself.

Will you please consider making a donation towards Chris's treatment? She will need a surgical procedure to have a picc line inserted, the Intravenous antibiotics, surgical supplies, bandage changes and weekly blood work. Her doctor will work with her to help her get some of this covered by insurance, but most of it will not be covered.
Chris is such a fighter; she is strong, witty, optimistic and humorous, making her all the more an inspiration. She has extended her support and generosity to so many people, and frequently contributes to the Lyme community- both through sharing her support and spreading awareness. This would be a great opportunity to return these gestures of compassion to our dear friend Chris. Thank you! <3
