Yesterday, we both saw the doctor. During Rhonda's visit, the doctor confirmed our suspicisions that her slow recovery is "disconcerting." This coming week they're going to be much more agressive. Monday through Wednesday, she's going to have three infusions of Immunoglobulin (hospital outpatient). Then on Thursday, she's going to have another MRI to check about the neck pressure and headaches. She's also had a recurrance of some eye problems that she had in the hospital, so they will also do a test on her eye on Thursday. You can pray for Rhonda during all this activity. She actually felt fairly well at the end of the day yesterday which was a good sign. The doctor did mention that while GB is an acute autoimmune syndrome, it can also have chronic forms. We do pray that is not the case and that the agressive treatments help Rhonda on the road to recovery.
As for my visit, my case/splint is now off and my thumb seems to be on the road to recovery. It's still stiff and sore and is probably a month away from gaining something closer to full strength.
