This is in the order of which this happened. Rhabdomyalisis, cardiac arrest, vasculitis, coma...Can all of these things take place from a tick bite?? Because right now we are in a crisis, with all 9 doctors scratching their heads. My Mom is a 52 year old healthy woman who has never gotten sick. She got a tick bite about 4 weeks ago and started getting flu like symtoms. Now she is in the hospital fighting for her life and the doctors do not know why. She went into cardiac arrest on her 3rd night at the hospital, they have no explanation why her heart stopped. They revived her, but she was coded for 20 minutes. Now she is on life support, with kidney and liver failure. My Mom is a fighter and we will not give up, we just need anyones help right now. Please look at the webpage that I made for her explaining waht happened to her and her progress every day. I created it on the 8th and already over 600 people have looked at her profile. I have pictures of her, my brother, sister, and her grandkids. My Mom is a very LOVED woman, you can tell from what people have wrote in her guestbook. PLEASE PLEASE HELP US!!
