Prayers, please...

[Gato'smum]

About a month ago, my grandmother was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (http://www.medicinenet.com/guillain-barre_syndrome/article.htm). She was hospitalized, and for a while, she seemed to be getting better.

Today, we were told that she will never fully recover. She might regain some mobility, but she will essentially be a quadriplegic for the rest of her life.
...I'm generally not very religious, but I could really use some good vibes right now...

We will say a prayer for her.

I'm sorry to hear this. A friend of mine also has this horrible disease.:( She went into remission for a while but now she can't stand for very long and she's lost the feeling in her part of her legs. She was told that there's no cure for it. She got it as a result of having the flu. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

How sad! :( And, just an FYI, you don't have to be religious to be prayed for or to pray. ;) Faith and religion are two different things! I'm sending prayers your way!

[Bibette & Lulu]

Prayers and positive, healing thoughts for your grandmother and you and your family.

I'm with you completely on that, Finn's Mom.
