My family is having some serious problems. Last Friday, my DIL passed out at work (my son was down here for a week of deer hunting) and when they got her to the hospital she was paralyzed from the waist down.

She's been diagnosed with Gillian Barre Syndrome. It's RARE and is NOT good. I've been in Tulsa this week and she's still paralyzed. It's also affecting her arms and hands. And she has a rash all over.

They moved her to rehab this morning but said it's going to be a long road to recovery (and some people never recover). And even if she gets use of her legs, she'll NEVER be over this mess.

But on the GOOD side - it doesn't seem to have affected her resp. system (and that would have probably been fatal), so we just have to plan for a long recovery right now.

Please keep her in your prayers as well as my son who's about to go out of his mind. Right now we don't know what's coming off or how long she'll be in the hospital or much of anything.

I'm home now, but have a bag packed in case I have to go back to Tulsa.

And I've got a migraine from hell.. timing sucks!

Thanks for the shoulder..  :-*
