Feeling down but hopeful

One more thought about Lyme disease. M y son picked up Lyme disease after visiting his father who is a retired OB-Gyn-Cancer surgeon, who also got infected. Whch was fortunate, because his father was diagnosed with a secondary infection that frequently accompanies Lyme. When mt son failed to thrive after the first antibiotic treatment, his father kept urging him to get checked for tge second infection. It took him 2 months but he switched docs, and it was idenified. He was visiting me at the time to hlp me through post open heart surgery recouperation. He had an antibioic prescription with several weeks of treatment. The treatment ended whle he was still visiting, and he had a prescription for a blood draw to see if there was still active infection. I had been feeding him really nourishing foods, which I hoped would help his body resolve the secund infection and the blood test showed that the infection was gone. He had mentioned that before the acual diagnosis of the second bloood infection, his riary doc thought he had an incurable blood disease. The right diagnosis and treatment, with the urging of my former husband, likely saved his life. I cannot remember the name of the second infection the frequently accompanies Lyme, but your situation could be the same, especially when you have relief on antibiotics. All the best.

Would you be able to find out the second infection's name? That would help me sooo much.
