I have a lovely friend who used to sing with me in church choir. She is in the final stages of ALS a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's disease. This week the port through which they feed and medicate her came loose. They took her to the emergency room and installed a temporary one. It hurt. A lot. They will have to go back in next week to fix it. Because of the disease they cannot anesthetize her. She also can no longer scream. Imagine having what is in essence a surgical procedure with no anesthesia and not being physically able to scream. Please pray for Jean Ann.
