For Lauren

[beyondsection17]

My friend Lauren was admitted to the ICU a few days ago when she suddenly became paralyzed in all of her limbs due to a rare auto-immune disorder she didn't know that she had. Her respiratory system started to fail, so she has since been intubated, sedated and put on a ventilator, and will be in the ICU for at least a few more weeks. Please pray that she'll be strong and fight her way through this, and that her family and friends might find peace as she recovers.
