My mother’s MRI results confirmed her GBS diagnosis. Currently my mother is stable, and is slowly gaining some strength in her limbs. Slowly. I want to document how awesome my father is throughout this journey: he has been taking care of my mother every day without any complaints. He remains calm and hopeful. There is always a smile on his face or occasional jokes from him. The condition in the hospital is not very patient-friendly because we have too many people: my mother shares the room with 5 different people, and my dad has to sleep in the hallway at night with the family members of other patients. My dad has to wake up every two hours to rotate my mother, and he needs to go to work during the week so he can keep his job. The situation is tough, but we are thankful that my mother’s case is not the worst! She is recovering.
My mother has also shown me what an amazing women she is. Most of the time, she is happy and making jokes. She does the exercises diligently. Mother told me that she is surprised that there are so many people (even strangers) who care about her. She is very open to being prayed for. Both of my parents are touched by the kindness and support people have shown to them. . Meanwhile, God is mending all kinds of relationships: my mother’s siblings continue to take turns taking care of my mother; a few distant relatives come take care of my mother at weekends so my dad can go to visit my grandma or take a nap.
Special thanks to those who financially supported us. I have seen multiple people stepped out of their faith with their generous donation. Every dollar counts. Thank you for your kindness.
Praise:
1. She is in recovery! She has begun physical therapy.
2. They were able to use the money we raised for the medical needs and hospital stay.
Prayer requests:
1. Complete full recovery
2. Continue support for my parents
3. Continue financial provision for her treatment as well as rehabilitation and mobilization.
4. Pray for Me and my husband during the mist of “trials of varies kind”.
I believe God is going to use this event to complete his rescue plan. The Bible has pointed out multiple times that Jesus heals the sick and paralyzed. This case is no exception.

Day 5- Help my mother fight Guillain-Barré syndrome
Today when I contacted my mom, she was in good spirit. Mother showed me that she could lift her forearm a little bit, but her entire body still look like noodles - without any strength. Mother was telling me how much she appreciates all the help that was given to her. However, she mentioned a friend of hers came and jokingly said that: “did you do something really bad that you are getting your punishment?” As my mom mentioned this, tears swelled in her eyes. My dad was weeping too. WE DON’T understand why this one in a million disease occurred to my mom. I have had a very hard day this Saturday because of all the things my family and I have to endure. WHY? This is the question that keeps echoing in my heart.
“Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”
Romans 5:2-5 ESV
Today our pastor prayed for us, and his prayer reminded me of the MANY stories of Jesus and his disciples healing the sick and paralyzed. What a “coincidence”!? I believe this is going to be a saving story for my parents too.
Praises:
1. She has be gaining strength. We have had some good conversations about life.
2. Mother’s siblings and my dad have been working together to swerve my mom.
3. We have received some generous donations.
Prayer requests:
1. My mother will get better each day. She will have a good physical therapist for her. She will be able to walk
2. My dad will stay healthy. He is very tired. And my mom may need help for months or a year until she fully recovers.
3. Financial support. They are still carrying a heavy financial burden. Please consider supporting us if you felt led to, and to share this with your friends: https://www.gofundme.com/help-my-mom-fight-guillainbarre.
This blog is just to document this special journey that my family is on. I believe it is a journey that God brings my parents to the true healing - spitually and physically!
