Not much action today, Brock is tired. The neurologist was in and as soon as Brock can pass the speech therapist's okay for a swallowing study, and then as long as that shows he can swallow enough to remove the NG tube, we will be heading south. He will do his rehab at Memorial Hospital and Healthcare Center. It is too hard for the parental units to be so far away from our responsibilities. We have missed so much work with JD's death and then this experience with Guillian-Barre that we just have to return home for the rehabilitation.
The neurologist's best guess is hopefully swallowing on his own within a week and then two weeks of rehab before released for home rehab. He could be a couple of months to many months from that point. No one knows for sure. This syndrome does its own thing and there is no way of knowing when the myelin sheaths will repair and nerves start talking to one another to make things move. The good news is they will start talking again.
I think we will just take it a little easy today and rest and read. I will post at the end of the day.
