Prayer

Kristin Kreckman

Thank you for the prayers over the past 7 months for my cousin Anna's husband Dr. Geoff Vana. Geoff was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare and life-threatening neurological disorder in which the immune system attacks the nerves, causing rapid weakness and paralysis. Within hours, everything changed, leading to life support, prolonged hospitalization, and a battle with sepsis.Adding to the weight of it all, Geoff became a patient in the very ICU where he works, every healthcare professional's nightmare, yet also a profound blessing to be surrounded by his work family. Recovery from GBS is a marathon. Thank you for your prayers that sustained Geoff, Anna, Aiden and J.P. Geoff is slowly returning to work as of February. Praise be to God!!!
