October 8th - Update
Hello Everyone - just wanted to provide a quick update as I have not been able to over the last couple of days.Yesterday the Neurologist diagnosed Nicole with a variant of Guillian Barre.GBS is an autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. Her doctors are 99% confident in this diagnosis. With that said, we are in the process of getting her records to other resources for a second opinion to confirm that diagnosis. The good news is, that if it is GBS, it is a treatable condition that just takes time to reverse itself. This could take days, weeks, or months. It affects each patient differently.Nicole will pull through this. I know she will. She is too strong to let this bump in the road bring her down! Again, we appreciate all of the prayers and well wishes. You have no idea how much they mean to all of us!

All of you are in our prayers. Please let Nicole know that everyone at the track has been asking about her.
ReplyDeleteIf there is anything the Byrnes family can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
Much Love,
Steve, Karen and Bryson Byrnes
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Please tell Nicole that we are sending good thoughts from way up here in the North Star State...
ReplyDeleteHave had Nicole and her family in our prayers since we heard last week. She is so phenomenal, so strong, so positive, such a gift to everyone she meets. We adore her and can't wait to hear that she is winning this battle! Much love. Laurie Greeno
