Uncle Kyle

I thought I'd post a little family news and ask for some prayers for Matt's uncle Kyle. He was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome a week and a half ago. I had never heard of this rare disorder until last week but it's a very sudden and serious disorder. You can read more about it here: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/gbs/gbs.htm. From what we understand, he experienced some tingling in his hands 2 weeks ago today (on a Sunday night) but didnt worry too much about it and went on to work Monday morning. He ended up coming home early from work because he wasnt feeling well. When Aunt DeAnn got home from work, he was on the couch and as she was talking to him, she realized that one of his eyes was almost closed and he didnt realize it, so she told him to get up because they were going to the ER. At first, they thought he might have had a stroke, but he continued to get worse and by Thursday morning, he was completely paralyzed and on a respirator. From what we've been told, they've tried to take him off the respirator twice without success so he's still on it now. Most people recover well from this disorder, but it's a long difficult road, so please pray for him, his family and our extended family.
