Becky’s got some weird symptoms. They started showing up just after my little bout with depression subsided. The doctor doesn’t know what she has but is treating her for Lyme disease because some of her symptoms match that diagnosis. It’s important to treat the disease early before more severe and potentially long terms symptoms manifest.
In the mean time, Becky’s biggest complaints are joint pain and fatigue. Nothing makes my wife sit still and rest, but whatever she’s got has planted her in a chair all morning.
We’re praying for nothing less than a swift complete healing from head to toe. Please do the same.
Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement over the last month. It’s been a rough one, but it’d be impossible without all the people in our lives who love us so well. Thanks for being one of them.

Praying for you guys and for the doctors. Praying for a diagnosis and a treatment. Praying that, above all, you’ll feel the Healer and Provider beside you all the while.

Hi Shaun,
I will be sure to pray for you and your family tonight. Tuesday nights are when i pray for various missions and ministers, and since you’re both, I’ll be praying for your family.
Also, I just want to say thanks for continuing to write and to share. reading your recent posts have been painful in a way, because in your depression you were surrounded by understanding and gracious people, and I can’t help but feel like I was/am totally alone in mine. but it is healing and helpful to read about your understanding of depression, as it’s been hard for me to wrap my head around mine. Thank you, I really appreciate your sharing, ministry, and heart.

Praying even now. It’s odd to me that your illnesses would come back to back. Becky protected you during your storm. I can’t help but wonder if that didn’t go unnoticed.
Either way, your family is being walled in by prayers.
Pam says:
With both these illnesses for you and Becky, be sure that your doctors consider other parasites that may have been picked up during your Compassion trip together. If you google Lyme disease and depression, there are some people who suffer psychiatric symptoms with Lyme disease. There are lots of very weird organisms (maybe similar to Lyme and West Nile Virus) that are much more common in India and the Dominican Republic and Africa than they are in the USA.
I have read your posts spellbound.
