Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in the Midst of COVID-19

Guillain-Barre syndrome is where the immune system begins attacking the nerves. There isn’t one particular cause, but it usually develops when the immune system overreacts to a prior infection or threat to the body. Many people who have gotten Guillain-Barre were fighting off the flu or another infection and then develop GBS.

When I looked it up, I saw the most severe cases- inability to swallow, needing physical therapy for months, being hospitalized with plasma transfusions. It all seemed quite overwhelming and I prayed that my husband wouldn’t continue to lose neurological function.

The Rainbow Is Coming

Hello, all.

This is a very impromptu “hello” back into the blogging world. My family and I took a HUGE step back from A LOT this summer due to multiple family stressors. I’m sure much of the details will come out in my writing over the next several months.

God has been good to us and pushed us through this storm. We are stronger on the other side.

I’m thankful to be back and writing, as my schedule allows. It’s such a joy and a blessing to have the ability to write! Praise God!

I appreciate you taking the time to read my posts, and I think I finally got the comments section fixed through WordPress- yippee!

Let me know (if you can) if you’re able to comment. Thanks, friends!

Creating Healthy Dialogue on Difficult Topics

It was a few short days after the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer when our young neighbor approached me.

“I’m angry,” he said. “I have some things I’d like to talk to your husband about if he’s available.”

Knowing that my husband was a police officer, I was impressed by this young man’s initiative to come over and have an in-person conversation.

Our family had continued to be stressed and taxed by the pressure and attack on police that ensued after the horrible incident. The attack on the character of all law enforcement seemed to quickly permeate through our nation.

Fear quickly gripped our household. I wish I could say I’ve been handling it well, but it’s been an immense struggle on top of COVID-19. I have had to turn over my anxiety daily to God and seek help for our family in these difficult times.

I know my husband is in this profession to make a positive change and keep the community safe, but it’s an extremely demanding career. I wish more people would willingly sit down and talk with an officer or their family to learn about the stresses and dynamics of the job.

And our neighbor did just that.
