Did you know Rowdy Gaines had GBS? I didn't until I was looking for an online version of a recent recoveree. I remember his name from the 1984 Olympics--he was a swimmer. And he won gold medals (wow!). Anyway, in the 1990's he had GBS and was investigating the LDS church. Story here. Then here is the article I was looking for in the first place. I asked my young son to read the paragraph describing the onset of symptoms and he recognized those as GBS. The article is about a high school athlete recovered from from GBS in time to play his last year of football. Part of his recovery was shooting baskets and playing basketball. How fun is that?!

Trevor's YMCA swim team had Rowdy Gaines come give a motivational speech last year. Wow. That is cool.
