I just found out last night that one of my greatest friend's mom has MS. While she is still going for tests, they think that it's the type that flairs up and then goes dormant and then flairs up, etc. Actually, she's already had a couple of flair ups in the past, but didn't tell anyone except her husband (she did go to the doctor).  But her kids are old enough now to know, and it's kinda hard to hide this one, as it's a pretty big one - she couldn't walk and I believe she lost mobility of one arm. So please keep both Lauren and her mom in your prayers. It's quite a shock for Lauren.
