(From the Jefferson Hospital Cafeteria)
Day two is underway: 90 mL/hr, 600 mL total to be infused. We'll be here a while.
This should be the last day for Jefferson; tomorrow we move over to the doctor's office for more of the same on Weds, Thurs and Friday.
Suzi is in fine spirits, and it is truly a blessing to have the good thoughts and prayers from y'all. <hugs> to everyone.

Suzi has been diagnosed with CIDP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_inflammato...ating_polyneuropathy . IVIG is a week-long set of visits where she gets new antibodies infused to replace her current antibodies that are attacking the myelin in her peripheral nerves.
After about six months of these treatments, if all goes well, she'll regain her sense of touch and then be able to walk unassisted! Woot!

So what exactly is this treatment, and what is it supposed to do?
