Hey Guys.
So this is what's going on:
My cousin, Sarah, sister to the wild child I've asked you to pray for in the past, is sixteen years old and confined to a wheel chair. She has spent the last three months in and out of hospitals.
This whole sickness began three months ago. She woke in the middle of the night with a splitting pain in her side. She was rushed to the ER and spent the next ten days in the hospital. Well, on the eleventh day, her insurance company refused to pay for any further treatment, and she was discharged from the hospital and forced to drive from Tennessee to her home in Iowa while in terrible pain.
Since that time, she's been constantly in and out of hospitals. The whole time they've been chucking pills at her left and right, but nothing's helping. The most troubling fact is that the doctors don't really know what's wrong with her. In the time she's been sick, they diagnosed her with: an illias(sp?), A kidney infection, a bladder infection, pseudomonis{sp?), a kidney stone, and finally (currently), a kidney stone that is infected with pseudomonis.
The whole family is very concerned. Her parents are worried sick, and this is the last thing they need to be forced to worry about right now.
Please pray that she'll heal. Sarah has a tough life to begin with, and I hate to see her this way. Thanks for your prayers. I know my family appreciates it.
