The tick testing is complete.  Negative for lyme, babesiosis, and powassan virus lineage II.  However, it was positive for anaplasmosis. A quick google makes that sound potentially scary too.  Given that the ticks were removed on Oct 31 - nearly a week ago - I'm not sure what the timeline would be to see effects.  As such, I made a call to the vet for recommendations and I'm awaiting a response.  More to come.
