My dad, Roger Roff, has been in the hospital for some two weeks now with a rare condition called Guillain-Barré syndrome. It causes extreme muscle weakness to the point of total paralysis as the syndrome cause the body to attack its own never bundles interrupting the signals between them and the brain. It basically rag dolls you and you have no physical strength or at its worst it kills you as you heart and or diaphragm stop moving. My dad seemed to be recovering, slowly regaining the use of his limbs at least but for the past 3 days his blood pressure keeps dropping with any attempt to elevate him. We are worrid that this could lead to a heart attack and my poor mother who stays at the hospital with him isnt sleeping. As  former nurse she wants to be there incase he suddenly codes and so she stays awake all night making sure he is breathing and so she can help if something does happen until the hospital staff can get there. 

My family is physically and mentally exhausted and so Im asking all of you for your prayers, or if you dont pray just some positive thoughts, anything. Thank you all in advance.
