My mom had it. I think he will be fine as long as he takes his melds.

He should be OK sweetheart if he is treated to the medic in as soon as possible.

It is very unlikely that he will die from Lyme disease. It could cause permanent joint problems and nerve damage, but I suspect they caught it early, so he should be okay.

Antibiotics for a few weeks and he should be okay.

In rare cases, Lyme disease can be fatal.
If he gets proper treatment and it's early, all should be fine.

It is less likely that he will die, children normally only get mild to moderate affects.

Good luck.

although Lyme's disease can be fatal, but if caught early enough it can be managed. if his dad is a doctor he is probably is the best possible scenario.
