Julie's medical expenses

Donation protected
Hey everyone, first of all I want to thank you for your consideration in helping Julie and her family out in this horrible situation they find themselves in right now.

Julie woke up Tuesday morning and was having double vision and when she went to get out of bed she was unable to. She was then taken to the hospital and admitted to the ICU. After many tests the doctors determined that she has a rare condition that is called Gullian Barre. This disease impacts the nervous system following a exposure  to a virus. Her body's immune system is essentially attacking her nervous system. This has many complications that come with it.

At this point she is having difficulty with her ability to fiunction normally. She is expected to be in the ICU for many weeks to come. The road to recovery is very long and will include a lot of intense therapy. At this point they are not sure  when she will be released from the hospital.

As most of you know, Julie is a well-known photographer in the state of Colorado and spends much of her year photgraphing weddings, engagements, new born babies and families. Right now it is possible that she could miss the entire summer season.

I ask in behalf of Julie, Steve and their daughter Emilia for you to please pray and send positive thoughts their way.
With all of the medical costs as well not being able to work I am hoping that we can raise enough money for them that they can solely focus on getting Julie better and not have to feel the burden of all the expenses that will come with this condition. Anything will help and they appreciate all of the love and support.

Thank you everyone!!
