After a whole month of being sick, a trip to the ER and being hospitalized twice for a total of 14 days so far, the doctor is leaning toward the diagnosis of:
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
You can read more about it here:
https://health.google.com/health/ref/Chronic+inflammatory+polyneuropathy He will be starting a plasma treatment tomorrow which will keep him in the hospital for probably another 10 days. We are happy to have some sort of determination and hoping that the healing process will not be complicated by anything that might be underlying this. Just in the last 2 days, he has lost all strength in his legs and we are hoping he would be able to recover quickly and fully. He has not lost any hope or courage through this whole process except maybe yesterday when he couldn't get himself out of bed. He is in the right place and in the right hands. His attitude and faith has been amazing and he is striving to get the "best patient award" by not bothering the staff if at all possible lest he be seen as complaining. Please continue to pray for his full recovery and for his spirit. Thanks for all your support, concerns and prayers to all of us expressed in many different ways.
