Do any of you have prayer requests??

I received a very distressing email from a friend today. Her niece's best friend Breanna, who is a senior in high school, has been stricken with a mysterious life threatening illness. It started out a couple of weeks ago like a cold, then progressed to a flu-like illness and she was admitted to the hospital. The doctors don't know what's wrong with her, as she's not responding to any kind of treatment, and is now in ICU on life support. They wanted to transfer her to Duke Medical Center, but the doctors at Duke didn't feel she would survive the transfer. Unless she makes a miraculous turn around and starts to respond, then the doctors say she will die.
This poor girl needs prayers and a miracle. Please all, send some prayers and positive vibes to Breanna Fink in NC, and some for her family as well.
Thanks a bunch.

I am praying for a miracle and sending good vibes....*hugs*

Amazingly, Breanna continues to cling to life. She had surgery on Saturday to remove a mass that was pressing on her lung, and Sunday took a turn for the worse and crashed. The decision was then made that she had to be transferred to Duke, and she crashed again during the chopper ride. They brought her back from death's door again. She is now on a lung bypass machine at Duke, with the hopes that her lungs will have a chance to recover this way (both lungs have collapsed). There is still no diagnosis and the doctors are treating it as a massive infection of unknown origin. Her tests have been sent to major medical centers thruout the country in the hopes that someone somewhere can identify what it is. Right now they are concerned with internal bleeding since she is on such high doses of blood thinners to allow her blood to circulate thru all the machines that are keeping her alive. She is still facing weeks, and even months of hospitalization, even if they can identify this illness.
Again, please send a prayer and some positive vibes to Breanna and her family.
Thanks!
