Cajun... I had a similiar ailment, Cervical Transverse Myelitis. GB starts at the bottom of the spine and moves upward, CTM starts at the top of the spine and moves downward. The flu shot attacked my spinal cord. Mine started when I couldn't lift my arms one morning after having some tingling for the previous week. I went to the hospital where I went totally paralyzed from the neck down for two weeks then a slow recovery. It hit my spine just below the part that effects breathing/heart beat, etc. It will be 4 yrs. this Oct. and I'm at 98% and will probably not go further. I'll take 98%!
The younger that you are when this happens is the better for a full recovery (I was 51 when it happened to me in 2009).
If you are totally basing your decision on your wife's recovery, don't rush the sale, she will get better (as her doctor said) and you will be on the road again. Vitamin B helps the nerves grow back.
I'm sure your wife is taking physical therapy which will help. I had it for 8 weeks.
I wish you luck with everything! Feel free to PM me if you want.
