Sarcoidosis (sar-koy-DO-sis) is a disease of unknown cause that leads to inflammation. This disease affects your body’s organs. Normally, your immune system defends your body against foreign or harmful substances. For example, it sends special cells to protect organs that are in danger. These cells release chemicals that recruit other cells to isolate and destroy the harmful substance. Inflammation occurs during this process. Once the harmful substance is gone, the cells and the inflammation go away. In people who have sarcoidosis, the inflammation doesnt go away. Instead, some of the immune system cells cluster to form lumps called granulomas (gran-yu-LO-mas) in various organs in your body. I ask you guys to please pray for my grandmother, Coopers great-grandmother. In the last year, its been in remission, but were afraid it may have spread to her brain. Ill be with my grandmother in St. Louis tomorrow morning for her appointment with the neuro-ophthalmologist. Its starting to effect her vision. My grandmother has been a high school teacher for 20+ years. This is her last year. She is retiring. So, please, lift my grandmother up in prayer. Thank you!
