Hi friends... just wanted a place where you all can catch up on Jimbo's condition. " Hi" from Wyatt. It is called Guillain-Barre Syndrom. There is a ton of info if you google it that can answer most of your questions. The biggest challenge is that we just don't know enough about the condition to predict what the future holds. From what I understand, this will be a long haul. I can't say thank you enough to all the support and love that has poured in. We are very lucky to have you in our lives.
Today, they put a trach in. With this he will hopefully be able to talk and eat eventually. He is basically paralyzed from the neck down, yet can feel everything. For now we are waiting. Waiting for the paralysis to reverse, waiting for the pneumonia to clear, waiting to find the right mix of meds to manage his severe pain that will not subside. My days and nights are spent at the hospital doing range of motion with his joints, finding his nurse to change his position, or just holding his hand and rubbing his forehead. I am exhausted.
I will try to post as often as there is news. There will be days with no changes. I'm new at blogging so bear with me! Again thanks for the support! Please keep it coming.
