Reply To: Joel, 3 years old, first 72 hours…

You must try to remain optimistic while doing everything that can be done to treat his condition. While GBS is a serious disorder, many people make a full recovery. I acquired it or CIDP, which is similar) as an adult, not as a young child. I was completely paralied below the neck for a few weeks, but today I walk without any assistive devices and am nearly 100% functional. There is a good chance he will get through this without serious impairment.
