Most everyone on this site knows this guy. He is my father and he might kill me for this but I am posting it anyway. He was stricken and hospitalized on 4 June with Guilian Barre syndrome. He is still in the ICU and is starting to get some movement in his hands. He is a die hard TU fan both basketball and football. Just wanted to let you know.

Sorry to hear of your father's illness. Hope he fully recovers as soon as can be expected.

Never met your father, I know he is a diehard Tulsa fan and travels to games to support Tulsa.

Thanks I really appreciate it. Just got an update and they said he is improving fast enough they will probably have him off the ventilator in the next couple of days.

We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers!

Let him know we're all thinking about him and your family. If you need anything just let us know.

Thanks jester. I will have my step mother let him know when they wake him.

Update: There are two treatments that they can do with him 1 giving him immunoglobulin. That did not work. It actually made it worse. 2 plasmapheresis which is a week long plasma exchange. He finished that Wednesday and the nurse has stated that he has hit what they say is a plateau. He isn't getting worse and he isn't getting better. They had him in a coma during this process. When they woke him he is able to blink and slight movements in his hands but very slight. He continues to be I tubated for the next week. Still in ICU but looks stable enough to move out of ICU. If after the next week he is the same then they will actually put in a trach instead of intubating him to lessen the wear on his throat. Since I'm in Virginia getting ready to retire from the military I have to stay here for right now.

I get daily updates from his wife or my sister who is a registered nurse who speaks directly with the staff so she can explain it all to me in English. Lol. This is a complete shock to all of us. My sister has stated that she is hopeful after talking to the doctors that he will recover but the question is how long will it take his body to heal itself in its weakened state. He is a good dude. Not because he is my father but he is a genuine person and tells it like it is. We talk a lot from August through April going over the message boards and how we think the teams are doing. During this time is what I call our blackout time. Lol. We live on opposite sides of the country but we still share a passion for TU.

I do appreciate the kind words from the staff and the members. Even though I don't share your opinion most time. Lol. I will keep posting if something happens. Thanks again guys
