A Request for Ashley

This morning I am asking you to please lift up in prayer a young girl named Ashley.  (I teach her twin brother Cooper at our Co-op).  Ashley's mom, Lori, was teaching Aaron's class at our Co-op until Ashley became seriously ill back in January.  From my limited understanding, she has an extremely rare and debilitating form of Celiacs that has doctors in 4 different hospitals completely baffled.  They have run numerous tests, taken her to several hospitals, consulted with more doctors than I can keep straight and there just seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.  Right now she is suffering excruciating pain that can't be relieved because each time they try a new medication her body reacts to it.  Her parents are trying everything they can do to help their child.  Please lift up this family in your prayers.  Their page is here if you would like to leave them a word of encouragement, verse or prayer.  On the header of their blog - Ashley is the one in the middle.  Please pray that God would grant healing and rest for Ashley, grace and strength for her parents and wisdom for the doctors as they work to discover what is wrong.
