Welcome to our blog. We are on a journey. This is an unwelcome journey. We are not out of the darkness and into the light yet so we cannot see the benefits of why this all happened. We are hoping someday we will be there, some day soon.For now we just want to have a place to share our journey with others so that maybe something we learn will help them. We also want to update those that are concerned for our mother. Our mother is Bonnie and she has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre-Syndrome (GBS). We are her daughters, Terry, Donna and Jeanie. This is our journey.

Dec 23, 2008

On Dec 23rd they did an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy that was completely normal. Starting on Christmas day she was kind of out of it. Sleepy and a little loopy. They have her at Naples Community on the rehab floor but they aren't doing anything. They have her so drugged up that she can't do much. And of course it being the holiday all her doctors are gone so we can't even talk to anyone. It's very stressful. It's hard to tell if the pain is letting up because she is on so much pain medicine. I can finally touch her legs and feet. Just not sure at this point. We had her moved from one room because we thought her roommate was contagious and they put her in another room and now that woman's family is all sick and coming in the room and that lady is having diarrhea in her pants. We can't win. We are trying to get her moved into a private room. They said they couldn’t put her in a private room without reverse isolation. Dr. Prenger wouldn’t do it and said that she could be exposed to anything.
