Prayer Request

My middle son's friend has encephalitis, and has been hospitalized for over three weeks. He is in a medically induced coma.

If any of you would hold him in your heart and send up a prayer on his behalf (and his family's), I would be very grateful. If you could put him on your church's prayer board, his name is Noah.

And he's only 8 years old.

Thank you so much,

Alison

Consider it done immediately, will pray for Noah and his family - I can't imagine what life is like for them right now. Bedside vigils and cafeteria food and life on hold....I would imagine

Apparently, it started with a stomach virus.

Thank you so much, everybody. From what I have heard, it still looks grim. :(

Please keep the prayers coming....

Oh how awful.....poor thing. I'll be saying prayers for him too.

I'll be giving my kids some extra cuddles today.....sometimes life gets so hectic and chaotic, I take for granted that they'll be here another day. Hearing a story like this just makes me want to savor every moment with them.

Keep us updated, I hope the little guy is able to pull through.

Alison,

just sent along some warm wishes for them. How is your son handling this? My thoughts are with your family as well.

Thanks, Amanda. He is very sad and very serious. I emailed his teacher at school to see if the class could pray for Noah, even though most of them don't know him.

We so wish we could do more than pray....

I couldn't help thinking of Noah all weekend. I have a long prayer list this month and Noah is certainly on it. Please keep us up to date on his condition.

The school is going above and beyond--the whole school is praying for Noah every morning until he comes home!

Wow! I take it that this is not a public school that your son goes to.

I've said another prayer for Noah, his family, the doctors and nurses taking care of him. Also said a prayer for all of his friends too.

Noah, you, and your family our in my prayers.

Fiddle-Faddle Community Regular

Thank you so much, everybody.

His doctors are changing his meds this week, and say that they really don't know what to expect, but that they fear that he is in for a bumpy ride this week.

Please keep the prayers coming....

I'll be praying! Count me in. ;)

Checking in for an update... I'm sorry to hear that they think it will be a bumpy(ier) ride.

Prayers for Noah, his family, his medical team, and his friends this afternoon.

Prayers for Noah and his family.

This might cheer you up. My sister had it when she was 3 and we were told she would die or remain comatose. She is currently 38 and anything but in a coma! Miracles CAN happen!

Cheri A Contributor

How is Noah doing?

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
