Rock Star: My Triumph Over Guillian Barre Syndrome

I was a middle-aged Catholic Priest wondering if I made a difference in the lives of those around me. My health was in pretty good shape except for the extra weight I was carrying around. Life was basically uneventful as I went about my daily life as a priest. The summer had a slower pace and I was able to take a car trip to Nashville to attend a conference and retreat. I came back very tired, but little did I know I was about to be tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Guillain-Barre Syndrome is rare; typically about 2 in 10,000 a year. The disease is named after the two French doctors who were able to document a trying condition that often fools many medical professionals. The illness would have wide ranging effects on my family, friends, and, the people I served. I encountered so many people in this hospital odyssey of three months. Find out about the journey I took on my road to recovery. Please read my account of the struggle.
