Ashley Rack

 Ashley began to have some serious symptoms that took her to Children's Hospital in early May: facial numbness, having a hard time enunciating words and eating, and muscular weakness causing difficulty with walking. She would worsen each day. After doctor appointments, ER visits,  bloodwork, MRI, and a spinal tap - it was confirmed she has Guillain-Barre syndrome. It's a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. She has been tested and found to be positive for mono (Epstein Barr) which could be a a culprit for the onset of GBS (Guillain-Barre Syndrome)- sort of like an over active response to fight one illness which then goes hyperactive and ends up fighting against the good stuff in the body. Recovery will be a long process, but we are so encouraged as she's beginning to make small improvements daily.

Your comments will be a sweet memory as well - seeing the body of Christ love her so deeply along the way. We are so thankful for you!
