Mike Sutton

I mentioned way back that I had Guillain Barre Syndrome when I was 15 years old.  I was in a wheelchair for 6 months.  Now, 5 years later I am still trying to regain the strength I once had.  I got to thinking about my experience recently when I read an article about a basketball coach in Tennessee.  He too is recovering from Guillain Barre Syndrome.  Mike Sutton is very encouraging to many GBS patients because his experience was so severe he was on a ventilator for three months and he is now back on the court coaching.  It goes to show that struggles can be overcome.
