My wife has a neuromuscular disease. Thus far it has been diagnosed as Spinal Muscular Atrophy. This is a tentative diagnose and is as close as MDA has come.
She relapses and remiss ocassionally. The relapse are worse each time and the remissions are less complete.
On Monday she started to relapse with increased weakening in her lower legs. By Tuesday morning her legs were just about useless.
By Friday Morning her arms were weakened to the point that they became useless. At this point an ambulance was called to transport her to the hospital.
She has been admitted and they are working with her to get this to go into remission. Thus far the care has been spotty at best. The doctor is MIA and some of the nurses have attitudes.
Please pray:
That her care-givers would have true nurturer hearts.
Grace in abundance for my wife and I.
"I can't abide rudeness in a man." -Capt. Call.
That she might be moved to a rehab floor for better care.
That this will remiss quickly.
May God bless you and your wife and give those who are taking care of her wisdom and understanding for her needs. In Jesus' Holy and Healing Name, Amen.
Prayers for both of you.

Prayers for you and your wife.
Prayer Bump to the Top, and to the Most High as well.
Prayers sent.
I'm a bit late to this thread, but I don't think it's ever too late for prayers. Prayers for your wife that she may heal.
Prayers up for you both. I do not know your situation, but consider a change of hospital/doctor(s) if these are not doing their job.
As painful and difficult as these episodes are, they usually teach us new things, both spiritual and medical. They also provide new tools and resources for better home care.
Thanks for your prayers, and also to all that have prayed.
God Bless.
