Hi ladies, we need God's healing hand on my cousin!!
My cousin Lauren (20y/o) recently visited China, Japan, and Germany for an overseas study (she's majoring in hospitality management). While in China she got sick, a sinus infection. Since her visit, at the beginning of the summer, she's slowly gotten worse. She's had 2 nasal surgeries (for removing numerous polyps lining her sinus cavities), she's had tubes put in both ears, she's been in and out of the hospital due to severe pain. Yesterday she began coughing and vomiting blood. An MRI showed blood in her lungs and spots on and around her diaphragm. They have ruled out cancer. They're HOPING it's tuberculosis, although they do not think it is. She is not responding to any treatments, she is currently in quarantine and heavily sedated, due to the unbearable pain. The disease specialist is perplexed. She is not doing well.
Please pray. Pray for healing, patients, acceptance, strength, knowledge and understanding.

She's been diagnosed with Wegener's, a very rare form of vasculitis. She is on life support and continues to deteriorate. They've started her on treatments, but it might be too late. We're just praying and waiting for God to reveal His plan.
