Mom update and 3 hr test update...

Okay, so after a spinal tap and several other tests, they've landed on the fact that mom does have Guillian-Barre Syndrome. Today they are supposed to start a plasma exchange, which is a blood cleansing process that should really shorten her recovery time. Dad said that mom looks much better but that she's still on the ventilator and still in the ICU but any trace of pnemonia that was in her lungs is gone now. She's frustrated with not being able to communicate because of the tube, but dad says she seems much more comfortable and looks like she is getting better. The drs seem very optimistic about this process and that it will help alot and mom will be on the road to recovery very soon. Mom and dad's dr, Dr. English has been spending lots of time at the hospital with dad helping him understand all this and being a really great friend to him. So if you could continue to pray that she responds well to all the treatment and gets better quickly. Also pray for my dad, this has been really draining and stressful on him and he can use all the comfort he can get! Thank you all for your sweet comments and concern, we all really appreciate it.

As for my 3 hr glucose test, it went okay. They took my blood 5 times instead of just the four that I was expecting. But oh well, what's one more right? I haven't gotten the results back yet...I'm not sure how long it takes, but hopefully I will know soon. I didn't realize how much that takes out of you...but seriously after not having eaten for 14 hrs, I ate some lunch, came home and crashed for like three hours...I was just SO tired. So I think that's about it for me. Today is rainy and gray, but hopefully it will clear up enough to get to go outside for a while and let Ryan run around.
