Hi everyone, I am reaching out because my father was recently diagnosed with GBS, and our family is trying to navigate this terrifying diagnosis.Right now, he is completely bed-bound and numb. He has zero movement in his arms and legs. He can still eat solid foods, but he can only manage to speak to us sometimes. He has finished his hospital vial treatments, so the progression has hopefully stopped, but the paralysis is still fully there.We feel so helpless watching him lie there. I want to make sure we are doing everything right.For survivors: What did your caregivers do that helped you the most during the completely paralyzed phase?For caregivers: What are the absolute "Do's and Don'ts" to keep him safe, comfortable, and motivated?Recovery: Are there any therapies, supplements, or exercises (like passive stretching) that we should be pushing for early on to help speed things up?Communication: How did you communicate with your loved one when they were too weak to speak?This is a very scary time for us, and any insight on what to expect next or how to get through this would be appreciated more than you know. Thank you
