Hi:
Yes, I know about the lumbar puncture. I just got an update. Her knees are still swollen, her hip hurts, but she is able to stand for short times, and take little steps.
The family knows about the link to GBS now. Whether they inform the doctors that are consulting, well I have no idea.
Somebody better do SOMETHING. This kid is only 9 years old.
Thanks VERY much
Melody
