Please Pray for my friend, Giulietta


Dear Friends and Family,

A friend of mine in my moms group needs your prayers. She has something called Guillain Barre Syndrome... it is a problem that begins in the spine and causes the outer sheath of the nerves to become inflamed. Her name is Giullieta and her 16 month old daughter is Chloe, her husband is Jim. If you can spread the word at your church/temple or among your friends, I would be very grateful.

Giulietta is back in CCU at Hoag Hospital for the third time this week. She has had countless blood tests and finally got a spinal tap to discover what was wrong. They are pumping her full of globulins for a week. If this fails they will have to then extract and clean her blood. The paralysis travels up and down her body over the course of hours, she loses speech and sight capacities daily. She hasn't been able to hold her daughter for almost a week and now being in the hospital she hasn't seen her for days.

Hopefully her treatments will take affect and then things will settle out in about two or three weeks and become more manageable. Then our moms group and other friends will help with chores and food etc. Right now we need prayers and good vibes- lots of them!!!

A Paypal account has been set up to recieve donations for Giulietta and her family to help cover medical costs and care for Chloe etc. If you would like to donate, please click here:














Thank you for your time and consideration.
