Lord I continue to lift up this young lady to You, her needs are many, but I know that nothing is impossible for You. Father, please, I ask for a miracle on her behalf and Lord I give You the glory; in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Any news as of late on her condition and the reason for having to go back to the hospital? Continuing to pray for a miracle.

Sorry.>.

Newest update:

The reason that she had to go back to the hospital was a mystery for the doctors for awhile. It was very frustrating to see her go from bad to worse and no one had an answer to her worsening condition...(she started losing function in her arms and legs after the fact that she was walking at one point).

It appears that the doctors have discovered what was causing the decrease in function...

Spinal Cord Infarction.

What is Spinal Cord Infarction?

Spinal cord infarction is a stroke either within the spinal cord or the arteries that supply it. It is caused by arteriosclerosis or a thickening or closing of the major arteries to the spinal cord. Frequently spinal cord infarction is caused by a specific form of arteriosclerosis called atheromatosis, in which a deposit or accumulation of lipid-containing matter forms within the arteries.

Symptoms, which generally appear within minutes or a few hours of the infarction, may include intermittent sharp or burning back pain, aching pain down through the legs, weakness in the legs, paralysis, loss of deep tendon reflexes, loss of pain and temperature sensation, and incontinence.

At this point in time - she is Partially-Paralyzed below the waist and she has just a little movement in her arms...Recovery depends upon how quickly treatment was received and how severely her body was compromised. Paralysis may persist for many weeks or be permanent. We do not know if this will be permanent or not - only time will tell.

Please continue to Pray - this is not over by a long shot. She has a very long road ahead!!

Thanks, Longhorn, for the update and I am very sorry about the set back, but we serve a mighty God, and He is able...I will continue to pray for her recovery.

God Bless You,
