From Lyme to Legacy: A Mother's Perspective with Jody Hudson

<p>When Jody Hudson’s daughter, Alex, first complained that her legs hurt, it was assumed it was simply growing pains. What followed was a 10-year battle with a mysterious illness, more than 40 doctors, multiple misdiagnoses, and a desperate cross-country search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of Lyme disease. </p><p>Through unimaginable physical suffering, Alex clung to her faith and chose to trust God, while Jody fought alongside her and eventually took up Alex’s mission to advocate for others with Lyme disease after her daughter’s passing. </p><p>In her award-winning memoir <em>My Promise to Alex</em>, Jody weaves Alex’s story together with her own journey through abandonment, foster care, adoption, and divorce, offering a powerful testimony of a mother’s love, enduring faith, and hope that reaches beyond this life.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Jody:</strong></p><p>Jody&#39;s website: </p><p>https://www.alexhudsonlymefoundation.org/</p><p><br></p><p>Jody&#39;s Instagram:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/researchforalex/</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Looking to save money on bulk food items?
