Prayer for My Wife

Over the last several days, my wife Kelly has developed numbness and tingling in her face, left arm and left leg.  It has progressively gotten worse.

We spent the entire day yesterday at the hospital with her going through tests, bloodwork, EKG, CAT Scan, etc…  A stroke has been ruled out as have many other things.  Tomorrow, we have a 5:30 appointment for an MRI.  They are testing her specifically for Multiple Sclerosis.  If that comes back negative, our doctor told her that there is nothing significant to be concerned about.

The stress from all of this has left Kelly with no sleep, which causes increased anxiety and has likely exaggerated the numbness and weakness in her arm and leg.  She is praying and believing God with a lot of faith while still struggling with the weight of anxiety.

Pray for my wife.  She’s my best friend in the world and one of the strongest people I’ve ever known.  I want her to be fully healed and for the doctors to find absolutely nothing wrong with her and that the numbness will go away totally.  I know God can do it in a second.

We’ve hesitated to share this because it was personal and private.  Then, we decided we value privacy less than we do your prayers. We’d rather our family, church family, extended family, friends, and strangers who believe God listens and answers the prayers of His children to pray.

  1. Trav and Kelly, as I found out when it happened my family has been praying for Kelly since then, and we will not stop until she is well.

    We love you both very much and if there is anything I can do for either one of you day or night, you got my number. We are family.

    PRAYER WILL BE ANSWERED. I KNOW HE DOES I’M PROVE. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.

  17. Please have doctors also rule out optical migraines, which have these same sypmtoms as is very much stroke-like. I’ve been thru this myself.

    We continue to pray and believe in God’s truth – that the stripes were not bore in vain!

  19. You guys are awesome! Kelly had her MRI tonight. We’re waiting for the results and expecting a good report. To repeat something a friend prayed today, “the name of Jesus is a much more powerful name than the name of multiple sclerosis.”

    The battle is the Lord’s.
