Prayer for Hannah Baker

Hannah Baker, age 8, is suffering from a herpes virus that has attacked her nerve endings (causing a great deal of pain and inability to sleep) and has caused lesions to grow on her arms. As of today she will be on strong medicines for at least 8 to 10 days. The doctors are not exactly sure of the cause since usually this virus is contracted through chicken pox, but Hannah had the chicken pox vaccine as a baby.

At this time, long-term effects are not known. Please pray that Hannah's lesions will heal and that the pain will completely go away so that she can sleep through the night. Also pray that she won't suffer from long-term effects or have future outbreaks.
