Jenny called a short bit ago that Dr Bloom was in to see Jim and she was able to catch the end of his findings. He also went back over for her what he already had gone thru with Jim

Dr. Bloom has been in close contact with his Peers at Washington University in St. Louis. The team thinks it is Relapsing Remitting CIDP which only 10 percent of CIDP patients have this type. Dr. says Jim is very unique and Jenny says she knows but he can stop being unique any time now.

Usually RRCIDP can be controlled with meds. He started today with IV steroids (unknown name) which he will receive for five days. Then he will visit the Doctors office once per week for a couple months to get meds IV. They will wean him of the IV to oral meds. With the hope and prayers that this can control the RRCIDP.

Jim has been moved out of ICU only because they have so many patients. He is in a private room as of this afternoon.

Tomorrow will start PT for range of motion, he may need to go to rehab before he goes home. Unknown schedule for going home at this time. Jim remains unable to walk or lift his legs, and barely can lift his arms. Breathing is normal at this time.

That is all for now, thanks for your prayers. God is Great!

John
