Today, we had two afternoon doctor visits. One was to check on Cody's ears and the other was to check on Rhonda's eyes and head which continue to bother her (she experiences eye fatigue and head pressure). Cody's ears appear to be fine, however, the neurologist has decided to order more tests for Rhonda (a spinal tap and a third MRI). According to the doctor, Guillain-Barre patients usually recover at a fairly steady pace. Rhonda's recurring symptoms may point to a chronic form of the disease (Guillain-Barre is another name for the acute autoimmune polyradiculoneuropathy. The chronic form is known as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy). Hopefully, the tests will help us learn more.
In the meantime, we're trying to get back into a normal routine with the boys at school. I'll also be teaching classes again this Fall. Fortuantely, Rhonda is able to watch the boys by herself now, so it makes things a bit easier. She is still not driving yet because of her eye troubles. We continue to ask for prayers for healing as well as energy.
