Prayer Request

I need a little help from everyone. We have a friend who is desperate need of your prayers. Her name is Patricia Woods and she has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). GBS is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the nervous system. She went into the hospital in Hendersonville on the 19th and has been in ICU since. She has been in severe pain, has experenced paralysis, and has been on a ventilator, these among many other things. As of report this morning she has been transferred to Centennial Hospital for a higher level of care. We are asking for you to join us in prayer for Patricia and her family. We are praying for complete healing. From what I have read, even after one gets better there can be continued evidence of the disorder for forever. We want that to not be the case for Patricia. This family is incredible and has been through a lot, they need a prayer of peace as well. There is a website to visit to learn more about this disorder... www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/gbs/gbs.htm

Thanks to everyone for their prayers.
