Take A Minute.

I typically don't post personal things on my blog but this needs some attention and prayers.

Just the other day I was notified that a good friend of mine, Kate was in the hospital, she was having an allergic reaction to a medication. Since I got word on Tuesday things have not gotten any better for her. Last night she was transported to The OSU Medical Center and placed in the Burn Unit. Kate was also a bridesmaid in my wedding that is this coming Saturday, which she is devastated that she can not attend. We all want her to get better and heal soon!

Here is a description of what she is now being faced with:
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, also known as SJS and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, is a potentially deadly skin disease that is usually the result a drug reaction.Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a severe disorder of mucous membranes. It can have signs and symptoms similar to those of severe erythema multiforme, a skin condition that causes blistering and erosion of the skin and mucous membranes, especially in the mouth. Doctors believe this disorder is an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction.

Please Keep Kate in your thoughts and Prayers.
