Danny Wuerffel On Guillain-Barre: ‘I Seem To Get Just A Little Bit Better Each Day’

Former Florida great Danny Wuerffel, who has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, has now released a message to supporters and well-wishers on the website of Desire Street Ministries, which he founded.

I seem to get just a little bit better each day, and feel confident that the worst is behind me. …

All signs are pointing towards a good recovery. There is a chance my reflexes and coordination may not fully recover. Please pray that isn’t the case.

In addition to the update on his medical condition, Wuerffel’s message shows he’s keeping his sense of humor in tact and trusting God.

Why couldn’t the doctors that discovered this syndrome have been named Smith/Davis or something? …
Pray I will use this time wisely. Pray I will hear God’s voice clearly and that this will be what author Richard Rohr calls “Liminal” time, or time at the threshold where God puts us in a strange situation (usually challenging ones where we aren’t in control) where we are most apt to listen and grow.

Wuerffel intends to keep his fans updated on a weekly basis.
