CALLING ALL MY PEEPS WHO PRAY!!


I've got a beautiful sister (actually I have three but I'm going to focus on one of them right now) who is thoughtful, kind, funny, great cook, loving mom, creative, caring, giving, outgoing, dynamite teacher, adventurous, loves music, and on and on and on. She is truly THE BOMB and she is in a tough spot right now. She just had her fourth baby about two weeks ago and a few days later lost all feeling and control on the left side of her face. We hoped it was Bell's Palsy but unfortunately it's not. After undergoing a few more tests she has learned what it isn't but not yet what it is. The questions going through her head are from one extreme to the other, "Is it just a freak accident and will go away?" to "Will I survive this?"
If I'm understanding correctly they have found some white clusters on her brain and the doctors aren't sure what it is yet. It's a scary time and we're all hoping and praying for some answers. Anna has asked for her friends' prayers and now I'm extending the same. To all my friends and family please include Anna (pronounced "Onna" - we wouldn't want the wrong person getting blessings) in your prayers this holiday season.
Check out her blog, get familiar with her and I can guarantee you you'll like her immediately. She's just that kind of person. And feel free to leave her a comment/ she loves comments and loves to know who's reading her blog.

I will certainly pray for Anna. I hope she gets some answers and feels better. She's lucky to have such great sisters.

So sorry to hear this. My prayers will definitely be with her.

She will be in our prayers. I hope they figure it out soon--not knowing what it is makes it so difficult to deal with I am sure.

Just read about your sister - so sorry!

It sounds like MS to me! Marianne (my sister) has MS.

Hope they are able to determine what's wrong!
