Too tired to type much, but didn't want to leave you hanging. Steve is stable. He is at St. Elizabeth's. Not sure what is wrong. Soon after his chest pain, he had weakness over all of his extremities, and was unable to move them. His heart checked out normal, they didn't think he had a stroke, but couldn't figure out why the paralysis. He was able to feel us touch, but unable to move. He could only move his head, and he couldn't even take in a deep breath. He went into a very sleepy spell in the ER where they couldn't even wake him up; even pinching him. He is resting better tonight, and when I left, he was able to move his hands. I had to feed him supper tonight, cuz he couldn't do that. I did get an update about 10:30 tonight, that he was moving his hands to his face. UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you for praying. I will do a better job of updating once I get some sleep.
And Matthew had an okay, a touch better again. He is resting comfortably and his body is fighting. I had so many offers today from friends to come sit with Matthew (wow!) and our friend Chrissy spent the day with him.
We couldn't have gotten through this without all of you! Thank you so much for praying, visiting, texting and loving on us! WOW.
Good night.

Just read your blog. I will continue to pray for you all with emphasis on Steve and Matthew!! Jill you are an amazing women with all the strength God has given you. Hang in there, you are not alone!!!!!
Once you come down from the adrenaline high, are you going to need to sleep for like a year!?!
continued prayers for you & your family. thinking of you always!
I simply cannot imagine what you are all going through - we will be praying for your entire family. I wish we were closer to help in some way.
I was directed to your blog through about 3 other blogs and am praying for you and your family. I had a quick read of Steve's symptoms and immediately through of Guillain-Barre syndrome (I had a case in October of 2009 started with the exact same symptom set). It is VERY rare and some doctors have never heard of it. I don't think that it was a coincidence that I happened upon your blog. Prayers for you all! If you have any question please email me kirsten131@hotmail.com
