hi from votemom

hi everyone,

wanted to ask for prayers for our family. i've been in the hospital for 2 weeks. i got a cold, nothing of significance. then 3 days after it ended, i landed here. i have Guillain-Barré Syndrome. have been very fortunate & blessed that they diagnosed me early and i received treatment quickly.

please pray for my complete recovery and for our girls at home. my oldest left for college out of state the day before i was admitted. now my next oldest moves onto campus this week. lots of confusion and loss for them right now.

when i go home i will probably not be able to be by myself with them, but hopefully my presence will help.

thanks everyone.

Oh, I am so sorry to read this post!!! I know this is a very difficult time for you and your family. I am thinking of you all and wishing you a speedy recovery. I have had a dear friend and a brother in law suffer with this. It is wonderful that you received treament so quickly. That will surely help recovery time. You are a very strong and I know you will all get thru this. Take very good care. Please update when you can.

Prayers going out from here too. A man from here had that and was in the hospital for months. That is a scary thing! We will keep your whole family in prayers.
