My cousin (Robin) son Christian has been sick for the better part of a week, but just off and on flu like stuff. Headache one day sore throat the next and they had been keeping him home from school and treating him OTC. Sunday he seemed to get worse and developed a fever so they took him to the ER. He was diagnosed with Pneumonia and given med's and sent home. Yesterday he seemed to get much worse and started having difficulty walking. They called 911 and he was transported back to the hospital in Daytona. By arrival he was unable to walk at all and they have since transferred him to Orlando Children's hospital. He is currently there with his mom in ICU. He is now numb from the chest down due to inflammation in his spine but MRI's and other test have not revealed the problem yet. He continues to get worse and doctors do not know why.

Please pray healing for him and strength and peace for his mom. Robin is a single mom and there are two other children at home alone while she is in Orlando.

I'm sorry to hear that Christian is so ill and that Robin is a single Mom having to handle this alone right now. Please let her know that we are all praying for them and the medical team providing his care. I hope that someone will be able to help her with her other two children. It's bad enough when you have to worry about one in the hospital so seriously ill, much less knowing that two more need you as well.

They have figured out what he is wrong and he has something called Guillain–Barré syndrome. He should make a full recovery as long as he does not develop some of the serious complications that can go along with this. However, the recovery is very divergent for different people and can take up to a year at times so please keep praying that he does not have to deal with any of the serious complications and that he will make a speedy recovery! We are so thankful they have gotten a diagnosis and are able to treat him properly now!

Prayers for Christian for a speedy and uneventful recovery and for his mom to have the strength to get her through this tough time. It is always difficult on us moms when our children are sick.

I will be praying as I know what this syndrome can do. True they can have a full recovery and it does take a while to get back to completely normal. he sounds to be young and they are the ones who back back the best from this.

Christian is 17. I have never heard about this before or known anyone who had it. I know he is a very active guy so I hope it is a quick recovery for him as I can't imagine him being cooped up in the little apartment for months on end. Right now he is dealing with some respiratory issues.

Thank you so much for all the prayers!

I too know quite a few people with it . I pray now that they have it identified that it can be treated for him and does not impact his life too much. He is way too young........
