Welcome to the forum. When I came down with this stuff I too asked the question . The treatments are given and usually the symtoms continue to progress. The nuros will check constantly for weekness and wait x amount of days. They really dont know when it will stop. She has youth on her side for sure.

I was 12 years old when I got Gbs. They did 2 spinal taps b4 determining it was gbs. It was in 1974, only treatment available was physical and occupational therapy. I’m 55 years old now. 8 years of PT and OT all through my school years. I agree, she has youth on her side and advanced treatment available.
I Wish her a speedy recovery!
