Status of Melanie

Unfortunately for my daughter Melanie, she has developed something called Guillian Barre Syndrome (GBS).   A full recovery from this is over 85% likely and she is a tough kid so I expect it will happen.  If you want to know what she is going thru right now and is likely to go through in the near future you can watch a U Tube video put together by Holly Gerlach who also had a severe form of GBS.  (Watching the video I think Ms. Gerlach was in the same ICU ward and bed)  I passed on all your good wishes and prayers however she is in alot of pain right now and not up to visiting.  Currently we are waiting to see if the IVIG treatment has been effective ... they say it will take about 7 days from the last day of treatment.   The rest of us are tired and stressed however Dean has a huge family and we have lots of help.

Should have chosen the Tai Chi form for this year.  I am practicing it lots in the Healing Garden at the U of A.
