Asking for prayers...

[jeannierides]

I have a very good friend on the Weight Watcher boards that has become very ill. Here is what her son posted today:

"Dear circle.
My mom Merryn is in the intensive care unit in critical condition. She has what is known as "T.T.P." a rare virus which affects the blood. She loves you guys so dearly I have created a members name to post a message here, I am her son., Please, please pray for her. She needs your loving and healing energy now. Her condition is not great, but she has survived the night and responded to her first treatment on a blood purifying machine at 2:00 AM. Her entire system is weak and compromised, kidneys not working and a virus which attacks the blood, i don't know the details of the illness but was in the hospital with her all night. I am the monk son, she is surrounded by her family and her california son and daughter-in-law and grandchild Ori are flying in later today. I don't know any of your screen names except pineridgepat.
thank you, i truely hope your healing energy will turn the tide for her. I am in your debt.
Ed Glassing"

I have only known Merryn through the WW boards, but all of us have come to love her. I know I can count on all of you to send healing thoughts and prayers her way. She lives in Upstate New York.

It is with a heavy heart that I post this. My friend lost her fight this afternoon. Thank you all for your kind prayers and best wishes. Please continue to remember her family during this devastating time.

I'm so sorry Jeannie What a terrible sadness for all of her friends and family. With tears I'm thinking of them and wishing them peace and love as they move through their (and your) grief.

Hugs and butterflies,

Jeannie I am very saddened to read this. I shall be keeping you, her friends and family in my prayers.

I am truly so very sad for you, at least Merryn's suffering has stopped.

My heart goes out to you and all of her family.
