Yes, and we didn't find out until a month and a half AFTER THE FRICKIN FACT.
I am so mad right now.
The doctor thinks that the West Nile touched off his Gillian-Barre. All I know is that while he's doing great, he's nowhere near what he was and it's slowly killing him inside.
*sigh*
I thought everone would like to know how he's doing, though, and I can't find the other thread at the moment. Again, thank you everyone for your well-wishes and prayers.
Yes, I know it takes them an extremely long time to do the West Nile test -- here they have to send it off to some Federal lab -- apparently only certain labs have the equipment to make a positive West Nile determination.
My neighbor, who had it two(?) years ago now, and he was a healthy, strapping, 40-ish farmer, still suffers some side effects and loss of strength. We are just glad he's alive.
I will keep your dad in my prayers for sure, that he will have a good recovery and the best of care...

Mayday, I have(had) ADEM, another type of encephalitis, and if you want to email me, do. I have found more information on my own and in a discussion group than from doctors.
