Chances are that if you live in Central Texas, you have driven to Temple to enjoy the Robinson Family Farm during the fall. Now, the family behind supplying adorable pumpkin pictures to the area is looking for support.
Brian Robinson was initially hospitalized with an unknown illness. A fundraiser was immediately set-up for the family as they set out to find out what was wrong with Brian.
Two days later, the family announced that Brian's lab tests and MRI's came back as normal, despite being intubated and paralyzed from the neck down.
He showed the clinical findings of Guillian Barre Syndrome. According to the Mayo Clinic, GBS is a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms. These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body.
The family said treatment started immediately, but they are not seeing the results they had hoped for.
"This will be a long road to recovery and with no health insurance for Brian, a GoFund Me Account was set up...again do not feel obligated, but if your heart leads you to a donation...just know it is appreciated. If you can’t give, that is OK too, give us your prayers," the family said.
