My two sons, 24 and 19, went skydiving together today.
Both of my boys have Congenital Lyme, and the older one Chronic as well from an infection.
My oldest has been in full remission now for 4 years, after being incredibly sick, bedridden, and taking 7 years to finish high school. He is now an Army medic, full time paramedic student, and full time employee on an ambulance.
My younger son recently completed treatment, and he is doing better than ever. He has been in special schools due to behavioral issues, refused to leave the house for years except to go to school, had no friends, failing grades, and was sick and tired all the time.
Today, they both went skydiving. There is hope.

Wonderful. (and brave--I would never go skydiving even if I was perfectly healthy).

We all hear so many sad stories, it warms my heart to hear ones like this.
