Prayer please. My newest grandbaby's cord blood test results came today and are positive for Lyme. He is 4 weeks old and older sister is almost 2. Her cord blood showed negative for Lyme. The parents, my daughter and her husband are sad. There is treatment. They now will have both children tested from their own body blood to be certain. We didn't know until about 4 years ago that I gave my children Lyme in utero. I don't know how I got it way back whenever! The 1950s Lyme is easier to treat, thank you, God! Thank you in advance as you read this and pray for healing and positive attitudes. Bless you for caring about others.Hugs, Joan

my thoughts and prayers are with you all!

So sorry .will pray for here and God does answer prayers,

My thoughts are with you and your family. My youngest daughter had to have a complete blood transfusion at birth so I know what a worry it must be for you.

You and your GS are in my prayers. Here's to hoping a guardian angel is watching over the family and guiding the medical providers to do whatever is necessary to get the little fella back to feeling well.

Sending prayers for the whole family. I have heard of Lyme but don't know what it actually is. Hope all is well if they have treatment for it.

Prayers lifted. Will also add your family to our prayer chain.

I am not to familiar with lyme...BUT you have my prayers....deanna

My prayers are for all of you!

I think you have helped all of us with this information about limes, very scarry, you will have many prayers.

Will be praying for you little ones as well as the whole family! So thankful there's a treatment & it's been caught!

I will add your family to my prayers. I had no Idea you could pass lyme disease through your blood.

Yes, Kay, that Lyme Disease. I had no idea it could be passed from mother to child either.

At least they know about it to get early treatment. Praying that the little one will continue to thrive and be free of the symptoms.

I know this must have been devastating to hear. You certainly have my prayers. I pray his is the 1950's version and can be easily treated.

Prayers for your little ones, your own kids, and you! I never realized Lyme could be caught in utero, I think that this disease is far more widespread than we think, people are just not being diagnosed with it unless the symptoms are bad. Even our dogs are at risk for Lyme. Both my dog Jamie and my cousin's dog Benji have had it. I didn't catch Jamie's until it caused so much pain in his knees he could hardly walk, and the same thing happened to my cousin. Unfortunately for Benji, it went into his kidneys, which will eventually be a bad outcome, even though the disease itself is cured. I'm not sure that people who live in rural areas should not have themselves and their pets tested on a routine basis, because the faster it's cured the less the damage. I'm so sorry this is happening to your family, and you will all be in my prayers for healing, restoring a great quality of life to all. Big hugs, Marji

I will pray for this little one. Also for the family. Never knew this was transferable. Keep us posted please.

Oh Dear, my thoughts and prayers are with you all!

You precious family will be added to my prayer list. Hugs, Barba

I will add my prayers too.

I never heard of this dating back. I am with praise of agreement with you for your GS and his treatment with complete healing. I will pray the symptoms gone off him and strength for him and parents.

Oh, Joan, I didn't even realize Lyme went back that far......what a crazy illness that is, I had no idea it could be transferred in utero.....I will pray everything will be great with your GS's treatment and that all will stay well......Vicki

My prayers are with you all during this challenging time. Hugs Loralye

Sorry to hear this. Hope all turns out well. Our bodies are complex things!
