Danny Wuerffel Diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome
 
Get well soon buddy!

*********************************************************

"Former quarterback Danny Wuerffel has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder that causes paralysis. Wuerffel, who lives in Decatur, Ga., noticed he was losing sensation in his legs and strength in his arms shortly after he battled a stomach virus June 4.

Sucks but if managed he can still live a long productive life.

Psalms 18:2 — The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Danny, though the success as a Saint on the field was not to be enjoyed - your valiant, brave, and faithful effort is remembered and appreciated and so, we are with you and you in our prayers...

I met him at a charity golf event several years ago on the north shore. Class act all the way. Prayers are with you, Danny!

One of my wife's grandfathers developed this after getting a flu shot many years ago.

It got so bad he was paralyzed for a period of time and had to learn to walk again.

He lived many years after "recovering", but said he felt like ants were stinging his legs for years afterwards until he passed away.


Hopefully DW can keep this at bay...
