So glad you two are (relatively) okay.
My brother came down with Guillane Barre syndrome earlier this year. He was incredibly lucky that is was diagnosed almost as soon as it started. Due to swift treatment (thanks Ninewells hospital, Dundee), the progression of the condition was slowed and halted very quickly. He’s still got residual issues but compared to what could have happened (as you so well know) he got off very lightly.
I hope your recovery goes well and good luck for the future!
