Here’s the original message from Danny Wuerffel:

A prayer request on my end. I caught a stomach bug last week on our Desire Ministry retreat in Colorado and my body got screwed up fighting the virus. I didn't recover well. I started losing feeling in my legs, and then while in Montgomery this week visiting our ministry partner, Bryan Kelly, I started losing feeling and strength in my hands and arms. After a series of crazy tests all day Friday (it was actually a blessing to have been in Montgomery), I was diagnosed with Guillian Barre Syndrome a pretty dangerous type of temporary but progressive paralysis. It was my immune system overreaction to the stomach bug that started attacking my nervous system. Fortunately, it was diagnosed early and I'm on a week-long treatment that should make everything be ok.

Crazy stuff. I'm doing well and very thankful to be getting good help. I'll be in Montgomery at least until next Tuesday. Please pray for a full and hopefully quick recovery.

I'm in good spirits. Bryan and his family are great hosts, and I got the sweetest hug from their neighbor, an inner-city girl yesterday. She heard I was sick and just came in the room, gave me a hug, a gentle pat on the shoulder and walked off. I thought I was coming to encourage the folks here, and I just continue to be blessed by them. God is good.

I'll keep you posted.

God bless,

Danny

From Gainesville Sun's Pat Dooley...

Former Florida quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel is in a Birmingham, Ala., hospital undergoing treatment for Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disorder that occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks part of the nervous system.

Wuerffel was the only Florida player I've ever liked. Hope he recovers fully and continues the great work he's doing.

He's a good man, and I pray that he has a speedy recovery.

I don't like him but i had a negative confrontation with him. Uga vs UF about 4-5 years ago i was waiting outside of the sports illustrated tent for a friend and he looks at me and says "hey kid if you want my autograph you better get in line." in a snotty way

Keep in mind there were probably 3 or 4 people in line waiting on his side.

I was wearing neutral apparel and was about 6-8 feet away. I then replied "I only get autographs from football players that don't suck in the NFL. Thanks though".

This is the same disease Tenn. Tech's basketball coach has, right? He has had a long ongoing recovery.

You didn't give him a bunch of dirty looks and refuse to go to his party later?

This is the same disease that contributed to a lot of FDR's problems. It is amazing the advances in medicine that Wuerffel could be okay in a week or so.
