Prayer Request Update

For those interested, here is the latest update from my friend Kathy on her daughter's friend:

Here is the latest update I have received on Allison Shaw. She is a friend of Kaitlin's from the Rep. She is 16 and developed bacterial meningitis while on Spring Break. Please keep praying for her. Thank you, Kathy

Allison has shown signs of trying to wake up! It really is a miracle. Just five days ago the doctors told her family there was "no hope". Thank you so much for your continued prayer.The doctors conducted more than 20 tests yesterday on Allison and they are still giving her blood. She is extremely weak on her left side and the doctors think she might have had a mild stroke when she had her seizure last week. Her mother says it's obvious that she is struggling and fighting to wake up, but she is still not conscious. If the CDC clears them to move her (and all the tests come back as we hope) they will attempt to transport Allison at the end of this week or the beginning of next week.Now... here is the next challenge and prayer request. Any and all suggestions/help would be invaluable. A private jet has been secured to transport Allison back to Children's Hospital here in Little Rock, but insurance will not cover a medical team to accompany her. They will need a doctor, nurse, possibly a paramedic to travel with Allison. Although the family has raised some money for this, it would be great if a medical team would donate their time. Please email or call me if you should have any ideas, thoughts...

This situation brings back memories. Hopefully, her age is in her favor. Will continue with prayers.
