1-year-old Joleigh is still undergoing outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy to overcome Guillain-Barré Syndrome — a rare disorder where the body's immune system attacks nerves.
1-year-old Joleigh was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare disorder where the body's immune system attacks nerves.
Doctors at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital have been working hard to get her back on her feet, after she suffered a rare autoimmune condition. "She was terrified of new faces because she's in that stage developmentally, but the therapists at TIRR have been amazing with just understanding that she is one and being patient and kind of working their way into sessions. We have like a play party before we start a session, we have 10 to 15 minutes where they're just playing to get to know her," says Satoiya Babineaux, Joleigh's mother.
"A lot of other people who suffered with it, called it the turtle disease because they said it's a very slow recovery. So, I just kept thinking, oh my gosh, how long am I going to be in this state with my child," wondered Satoiya."Joleigh received five doses of IVIG, which is a standard treatment for GBS," says Dr. Hall. IVIG stands for Intravenous immune globulin. That involves an IV of antibodies to help fight infection.
