Making progress – Laura saw the Neurology Team this week – she has been given the go-ahead to drive and will plan to start out slow & in a parking lot much like being 14 y/o again.  They did say, because she tires easily, to keep that in mind when driving somewhere & needing to return.  In therapy they are working on her gait, which is a challenge because she has strong muscle, but lacks the nerve/muscle connection.  She still has nerve healing to take place from her knees down.  Senses pinprick, but not like it is once they go above the knee & could not feel the practitioner’s cold hands from toe to knee, but did as soon as she went above the knee.  Her OT told her that her hands are improving, but again need for nerve healing from fingertips to elbow (much the same with pin prick & cold hands as from toe to knee).  So we continue therapy 6 hours per week.  She is walking around her home without a walker, but very cautious.  Trying to do things, but finds the muscles tire easily  - therapists & practioners say to do things, but not to push to overload.  Hopes are to return to work sometime in July but the nerves healing will make that decision.  She can use all the prayers you can send up for her.  We have heard that they are seeing more GBS r/t COVID cases so as GBS is not considered common, it may be more common with COVID than other viral/bacterial infections – time & research will tell.
