Today, Rhonda and I spent the holiday in the hospital. She received her blood patch for headaches caused by the leaking spinal fluid this morning and her Immunoglobulin (IGG) treatment for the Guillian Barre this afternoon. Fortunately, the patch seems to be working and Rhonda is getting some of the first extended hours of sleep she's had in a few days tonight. All the stress on her body seems to have caused the Guillian Barre symptoms to have flared up again. We're hoping the IGG helps. The staff at the hospital were great. When Rhonda left for the blood patch, one nurse popped her head in the room and told me she was praying for Rhonda. For some reason, it just caused a bust of tears that had been building up this weekend. The few quiet hours in the afternoon we both celebrated feeling the stress lighten a bit. Rhonda has voiced more, however, the weariness she feels from fighting GB. It's now been five months.
I was able to obtain the results of the MRI today. It came back normal. Tests have consistently ruled out MS.
