Dr. Marrero a neurologist in Moncton at the Dr. Georges L. Dumont Hospital came in to see me today. He said everything was going accordingly but says with Guillain Barre Syndrome recovery takes time. He’s one of the best doctors I’ve ever met. He’s such a pleasant doctor, always smiling, greets you with a hand shake and takes his time to explain everything. Dr. Marrero is certainly very knowledgeable with Guillain Barre as he’s saw many patients with GBS over his career. A very encouraging doctor that truly cares about his patients and loves his job. He gives me hope that I will recover from GBS.
Last night I finally had a good night sleep too. I was breathing more on my own today but the mechanical ventilator is there for back up if I get too tired. My Dad came in today and we had a good visit, my mother however stayed home with a sore throat to prevent any chances of me catching something. Mucus was suctioned out of my lungs today but overall it was a pretty good day. With Dr. Marrero a neurologist dropping by encouraged me with my prognosis and recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome. How long my recovery with GBS will take is unknown.
