Asking for extra prayers

My brother who is very sucessful lives in a gorgeous home in GA-has a beautiful wife and three wonderful boys-

My sister in -law and the boys have had their share of medical problems-with the middle child being diabetic-the youngest having a blood clot in his leg-and all three of them having an Immune Deficiency issue in which they get shots once a month.

My brother who has remained the healthy one through all of this time-was in the hospital the other night with numbness from his waist down and into his hands. They found that he had 2 strokes possibly while he was sleeping and the spinal tap and more tests gave us the results yesterday that he has Muscular dystrophy. He has 7 doctors lined up all ready to more testing done as there are different types of MS and we pray and ask for more prayers that it is the lesser evil of all the types.

Thank you so much!

My Brother has had MS for about 20 years now. The treatments have progressed a lot since then. He lives a relatively normal life. He lost his job as a pilot, but got into investment counseling, became a millionaire, and retired. Now he races his cars (legally, sanctioned), rides his motorcycle, etc.

MS is, today, a manageable disease.

Best of luck to you and yours.
