About a week back Gigi had to go to the emergency room as she could not close her left eye and the left side of her face dropped. The diagnosis is Bell's Palsy. This is her second Bells Palsy attack ,she previously had it in 2004 on the right side of her face. E.R.doctor referred her to neurologist. She is going to see her neurologist on Thursday.
I have been praying for her and would also request all my blogger friends and who so ever is reading this to wish and pray for her fast recovery and complete cure .Thanks.
of course!
