The Medics have decided that Jennie’s progress is not at the rate they are expecting especially as her left arm, the first target for the GBS is showing little sign of movement.
The decision has now been taken for a second dose of IVIG treatment in the hope that this will finally drive out any remaining rogue antibodies. This will take place over the next 5 days. (If the web can be believed this is costing $10k because it is a plasma product formed by taking antibodies from about 20,000 donors and mixing them together).
Lets hope it works this time.
