A tentative diagnosis of Guillain-Barre sent the son from Frye Emergency Room to Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston Salem where a spinal tap confirmed the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Immunoglobulin therapy was begun right away but his condition continued to deteriorate so the son progressed to plasmaphoresis. He was hospitalized for 7 weeks before passing away, underwent multiple therapies and is now at home.
His wife is full time caregiver for him who is still unable to walk or care for his personal needs. She is also a full time mom and is sole support for the family and the only help she has is his aging and ill father.
A paralyzed husband, ailing father-in-law, son with severe asthma leave no time to address her own health issues. The caregiver needs to do three loads of washing daily, meal preparation, feeding and cleanup, school functions, homework, football practice and games plus a full time job leave little time for even sleep. The mom is about to loose her job. The son's sudden life threatening illness is overwhelming on so many fronts and now all income is in jeopardy.
