Hi,
Please pray for Guadalupe who had a car accident today. She wasn't hurt much, but the other car was a nice newer car and is more damaged. ouch! and expensive.
Please pray for Crystal who has MS and is a married mother with her husband not able to support the family right now. Pray for the MS and for her not to become discouraged in school.
Please pray also for Kaan who has MS.
Thank you.

Ill pray anyway... whatever it is...
I believe she means Multiple Sclerosis.
[Quote=the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation website]
Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). MS is an inflammatory demyelinating condition. Myelin is a fatty material that insulates nerves, acting much like the covering of an electric wire and allowing the nerve to transmit its impulses rapidly. It is the speed and efficiency with which these impulses are conducted that permits smooth, rapid and co-ordinated movements to be performed with little conscious effort.
In multiple sclerosis, the loss of myelin (demyelination) is accompanied by a disruption in the ability of the nerves to conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain and this produces the various symptoms of MS. The sites where myelin is lost (plaques or lesions) appear as hardened (scar) areas: in multiple sclerosis these scars appear at different times and in different areas of the brain and spinal cord. The term multiple sclerosis means, literally, many scars. [/Quote]

You are absolutely right Termyt, I do mean multiple sclerosis, but I didn't know how to spell it and I usually hear it as MS. Crystal used to be a runner and had to loose a scholarship for Cal State Fullerton for her running because she kept falling thanks to the illness. She has trouble walking from her car to class and back now. She has a walker that she can sit on. Kaan alternates between walking with a cane and using a wheel chair. Thank you for your prayers.
