GBS

While I was out of class on Monday, May 15th, I still learned a lot about Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I think it is such an interesting disorder. It amazes me that someone can begin with symptoms of weakness and then can become paralyzed, only to potentially recover from the illness. The group I was assigned to for the case study was on a man named Joseph Heller, who was born in 1923. He was a writer and a traveler. He was writing his 4th book and started having trouble swallowing and difficulty raising his arms and legs. He ignored the symptoms until worsened and he went to the doctor where he was diagnosed with GBS.

ABI experiences

I really enjoyed learning about Acquired Brain Injuries during our class today. I personally know many people that have suffered from all different types of ABI's, so I liked learning about it in more detail. When I was young I actually watched someone obtain an ABI, so I have always found them interesting. I was at a tumbling competition and the elite tumblers were competing so everyone was watching because they were so skilled. One guy was on the trampoline and did a double back tuck. He barely under-rotated, but just enough to cause him to land leaning forward, so much that it shot him off the trampoline and onto the concrete.

A gym class was playing flag football and two of my friends dove for the ball at the same time, colliding heads. The top of one guy's head crashed into the side of the other's. He also immediately started s...

KAWAbunga!

My favorite model we talked about was the KAWA Model by Dr. Michael Iwama. I grew up on the water in East Tennessee and now live on Mud Island, so I see the Mississippi River rushing by every day. I love being around water, so comparing different aspects of the river with different aspects of life was very intriguing to me. I like how the model talks about the water as the flow of life and how people adapt to society. I also really liked the metaphor for the rocks as obstacles in someone's life that affect the flow. My family used to have a cabin in the Smoky Mountains, and when we were young our parents built a swim area with rocks to make a safe place for us play without getting swept downstream. Those rocks had a large impact on the flow of the water, just like obstacles can affect the flow of someone's life. I also thought it was neat that therapy occurs in the spaces of all the obstructions. I really liked that idea because I believe it is very true. When helping someone p...
