Prayer Request

[All 'N' 011808]

I have a prayer request that needs immediate prayer for fellow Husker fans. This is from the grandparents who live here in Salina, KS. Their grandson Jonathan lives in North Platte and has been sick for the last couple weeks on and off.

Yesterday, he slept all day long, and this morning when he got up, he could not walk. His dad took him to the ER. They ran all kinds of tests...heart and brain look good...did an epidural and look at his nervous system.

They now believe Jonathan has Guillain-Barré Syndrome which is rare neurological disorder in which a person’s immune system mistakenly attacks part of their peripheral nervous system—the network of nerves that carries signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.

Earlier this afternoon, they took Jonathan to Omaha Children’s Hospital. He still cannot stand on his legs. Somehow his body is fighting itself.

Please pray for all involved.

Update:

Some good news....Last night, doctors thought that Jonathan would get worse and his breathing would start being affected; however, he is still breathing well, and it hasn’t gotten worse. He is actually feeling good other than not being able to feel his legs. They have him on antibiotics and steroids.

Prayers sent. I believe this is what Wes Huff had. You can google him. He is a pastor and theological scholar. He overcame it. He had been paralyzed for a long time. Then he became sprinter in college.

Prayers, Blessings and strength for him and his family

Another update from Jonathan's grandparents:

They are going to do a plex which is a plasma exchange! He does 5 treatment every other day! His antibodies are fighting against his own body and wrecking havoc.

There is a diagnosis now: Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare neurological disorder causing inflammation across a section of the spinal cord, damaging the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibers and disrupting signals between the brain and body, leading to symptoms like pain, weakness, numbness, paralysis, and bladder/bowel issues. It can stem from infections, autoimmune diseases (like MS or NMOSD), or have unknown causes, affecting people of any age and potentially causing significant disability, though recovery is possible.
