why an otherwise healthy young boy would end up with an infected knee joint.

Lyme's titre came back positive today. Need one more confirmatory test, but looks like Tommy was likely bitten by a Lyme infected tick probably within 2 weeks of the first knee joint swelling in Sept.

Likely happened up in Waupaca area by my folks.

At least we have a diagnosis - not a great one, but much more comforting than trying to think that a healthy kid would just end up with a serious and rare challenge just out of the blue. The good news is that we were likely diagnosed "early" in the game and hopefully no long term consequences of the infection.

Go figure...
