Here's today's feel-good story:
Cody Hively, a 27-year-old actor, was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a lethal condition in around 1 of 20 patients.
The immune disorder causes the system to attack the patient's nerves.
Hively spent three months in a hospital receiving treatment. “Every day the doctors said the same thing, this could stop tomorrow, or it could just keep getting worse,” said Hively.
Fortunately, the treatment was successful and the sensation gradually returned to his body.
“I’m a person who enjoys being physical and active, so I’m used to working for things like this,” said Hively. “When I began walking it felt like I was alive again, each week I would make progress even if it was a couple of extra steps.”
