First off…to the two who told me to call an ambulance…I took your advice. Richard was taken about 2 hours ago by ambulance (a ride of about 10 miles) and then by helicopter. We have a program that we pay $50 a year and the helicopter services only takes the $$$ that the insurance pays…so we don’t pay anything. Had recently purchased it, but didn’t know a lot about it. Thank you very much for your suggestion…I did listen to you and now he is safe and sound in the hospital in Tucson. Hopefully they will start the pp tomorrow.

Diane and Dean, thank you so much for sharing your GBS stories with me. They really helped and gave me encouragement. This poor ole caregiver sure needed encouragment. I am leaving to go to Tucson in the morning and will stay till he is ready to come home or go on to the rehab institute. I am ready to give him the hugs at the tinest bit of progress.

Thanks to all of you. I am so glad I found you and this forum. I don’t feel so alone. After Richard gets better, I want him to get on the computer and meet all of you. You have been life-savers!! I look forward to hearing from you again…and your stories of progress and recovery…and hopefully we will get to start telling our recovery story soon! Marcia
