Short update is that Bella is doing beautifully! She weighs 78 pounds with no shoes or braces! She's 4'10.5" so that weight puts her in the 50th percentile. Still skinny but not scarily so.
Dr Castro said she was so worried about her last time that she had nightmares last night because she knew Bella was coming in today. But she was smiling from ear to ear during the exam. Bella's strength in most of her limbs is back to 100%! She can now tell in her right toe whether dr is pointing it up or down. Her left toe is still lacking but last time she couldn't tell in either toe. Her reflexes have come back in her hands/arms! They may never come back in her legs but dr says reflexes only exist for doctors to check . With each step of the exam, Dr Castro marveled at how beautifully Bella is doing. As bad as the last visit was, this one was every bit as good! Bella will have another follow up in 3 months on January 2. Bella really is kicking this GBS nonsense to the curb! Praise God!!!
