:Lynnelle's Story in a few pictures:

BEFORE......

I took my nephews out for icecream...

....and Starbucks.

Had fun shopping days with my sister......

held little children......

Even got a little wild sometimes!

Then I my body crashed.

My hands turned blue (from Babesia)

For awhile I still drove.

Who gets a handicapped sticker at 21 yrs old?

I began having more hospital visits than I can count.

Constantly cold-all wrapped up and still shivering.

When I felt "well", I could do simple things like this:

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be normal again.

A lot of my hair fell out.

Even if I have light sensitivity, I still appreciate the finer things in life.

Many people comment how pretty I am.

I may look pretty, but inside I am very sick.

Some days it's just tough to get a smile.

 Friends like you give me special gifts like this sweatshirt.

Thank you! I feel so loved!

Sometimes the headaches are massive.

I sat up to take this picture.

NOW:

Nov. 2011

I have been "bedfast" for a year now.

I am switching to a well known Dr. in Washington DC.

He has high hopes for my recovery.

My grandparents have been a huge part of my life.

This was a special visit for both of us.

My sister is still a huge part of my life.

She is my caregiver.

I can still walk short distances with a cane. (around the room).

 Please continue to pray for my healing.
