Wish I could magically heal her this instant. Sending prayers and love and strength to you both.

One thought. Is there anyone from your church or vets group who can come, even for a few hours at night? No need to reply, just wanted to suggest you might find support from beyond your closest circle.

Oh how I want to reply to each one of you all individually but I am worn out it’s about 4:45 in the evening on Monday. I just want to let you all know thank you so much for the positive energy and the positive words I’m sorry I should’ve put out a warning label because I know I usually try to use humor in the titles of our post. I just want you all to know that we fill your Positive energy and prayers. I will check in because it was quite lonely for a while today. And then my aunt unexpectedly popped in to stay with me and sit with me while my daughter went through both a spinal tap and an MRI which took about 3 1/2 four hours and now she is still resting and sleeping so I’m just gonna let her sleep. And you know my daughter grew up on wireless and you were here when her father quoted me a hand just I know I always share my life but I think each and everyone of you Who comment and we didn’t look for our post. I could not imagine my virtual village without YLF. Much love to you all and I am I will keep you posted I don’t know how to post videos if I can post videos here I haven’t even tried but I am I do want to keep you all in the loop so thank you again and I will post later on this thread about how she’s doing in updates much love

Donna

Will keep you and your daughter in prayer. Words can't express the depth of feeling for you both in this. Continue to trust...

I am so sorry you two are going through this.You are both fighters, though, and it is clear that you are a powerful advocate for your beautiful daughter. Both of you will be in my thoughts, and I wish you peace and strength.

I’m praying for you both. I know how scary this time is for you and I hope for good news for your lovely daughter.

I just came across this. You and your daughter will never be alone in spirit as long as I and the rest of the YLF crew are around. A spinal tap sounds scary, not to mention painful, but I am one for supporting any diagnostic tools if they help getting Z'Joy back to full health.

Please be sure to take care of yourself. I hope you got your flu shot as I understand this year the flu is pretty terrible. And it is still not to late to get a shot!

--with care from another Donna

Oh, Donna -- I am so so sorry to hear this. What a scary situation for you both. I am sending love and healing thoughts and wishes and hoping you have the best medical care available. Zi-joy is strong and beautiful and may her spirit prevail against the illness, whatever it might be.

Oh Ledonna, what a nightmare. Holding Zi’joy in my heart and mind. I have loved watching her grow over the years and you two growing into the sweetest mother-daughter pair. I hope you get some answers soon and that Zi’Joy starts to feel better.

Oh LeDonna, sending big hugs to you both. Your beautiful Zi’Joy is so lucky to have you looking out for her.

All the best to you both. There’s nothing harder for a momma than to see her little one facing a challenge like this. But you are both so strong ... sending you lots of positive, healing thoughts.

Oh no! I'm so sorry that Zi'joy is sick and can't walk. That's so scary! Have the doctors checked her for enterovirus infection? There's something called acute flaccid myelitis that causes kids to suddenly become weak and/or paralyzed. It's thought to be due to polio-like viruses (but not polio) and it tends to happen after a minor viral illness. It tends to occur in outbreaks every two years since 2014. Here is some info: https://www.cdc.gov/acute-flac.....t-afm.html I'm not a pediatrician so I don't know if that's what's going on, but maybe you can ask them about it. I'm sending hugs and positive thoughts that she'll make a quick and full recovery! Hang in there mama and baby!

Oh Donna I am so sorry. I hope you have a diagnosis and super quick recovery very soon. Sending you and Zion Joy warmest thoughts from (near) Zion.

How frightening for both of you! I am so glad that you were able to get her to the hospital right away and that they are working hard to find out what is wrong. I'll be praying for both of you. You have a very strong faith that will get you through this!

I will hold you are darling daughter in prayer for strength and faith and healing. You are both warriors in my book!

Just sent up prayers for you both. It's so hard to watch our little ones suffer and even more so when we have no clue what is going on.
I am so glad your aunt was able to be with you for a while. Hang in there! Draw strength from God for He is with you and for you.
Thank you so much for reaching out to the forum. Please keep us updated when you can. Try to get some sleep too. Big hugs to you and your sweet daughter! I wish there was more I can do for you at this instant. I will keep praying.

So so sorry your little one is going through this and hoping for a quick resolution. Sending a bunch of love and healing light for you and your precious daughter.

My heart aches for you, Zi’Joy, and your family! Sending you and yours all the strength, persistence, and peace during this time. Know many are holding you and Zi’Joy in their minds and hearts as you go through this!

Sending you loving and healing thoughts. You are both in my prayers.

Oh Ledonna, I'm so so sorry you're going through this. I hope they find an easily-dealt-with diagnosis and you don't have to live in this state of uncertainty for long, but no matter, we're here to support you, and you shouldn't hesitate to log in to chat or vent when you're feeling alone or dejected...or to share your joy when she's doing better!

Oh, I'm so sorry, Donna. You must be so scared. Sending love and positive vibes to you and your sweet girl. ***hugs***

Ledonna, how terrifying. I have tears in my eyes just reading this - what you are going through is the worst nightmare of every parent. I am sending much love to you and your brave little warrior princess. We all hope for good news, and I hope your family can rally around too xx

Holding both of you in my heart and sending healing vibes your way!

Every time more and more scary news. My daughter is 1 of 500 in the us diagnosed with AFM. Acute Flaccid Myelitis.

It is so rare hers has been reported to the cdc and they will be visiting us

It horrible. I have more ugly cry on fb live the word needs to spread.

This is the fb live I encourage you to watch and share. Less than 800 world wide.
I will be starting a go fund me so. The world has just shattered again for me and my daughter

https://www.facebook.com/MidLi.....309609284/

Oh Donna! That is so rough! I will heap on the prayers that little Zi gets a break. Her sweet spirit tho I can see remains intact. You let us know the go fund me page when it’s ready.

I will definitely pray for both you and your daughter. How devastating and hard.

This is just heartbreaking.

Ledonna, so sorry. My prayers are for you and precious Z'Joy.
