Awesome to see so many people in the rockbouncing community come together to wish her well. Praying for you Sydney.

She probably doesn't even know who many people on this little website has watched her videos or seen her at a race. I thought it was awesome not only to see her dad helping her get ready to hit a race hill, but how many grown men she out drove. That has to be rough when a 15 year d girl hits a hill harder than you at a race. I hope to see it a lot more next year.

A childhood friend of mine had the same thing happen. For him, it started in his toes and worked all the way up to his neck, paralyzing him as it went. It was terrible but it eventually ran a completely opposite course and reversed effects from his neck down to his toes. He ultimately made a full recovery and went on to play football again in college. It was a nasty thing to see and I'm sure it was worse to experience. Praying that this little girl makes a full and speedy recovery.

I want to bring awareness to GBS. A week ago i was normal i was working Thursday night and was perfectly fine! I came home and told mom and dad the tops of my feet hurt but i didnt think anything was wrong i mean i had just worked a 4-10 shift! Friday i woke up and my face felt numb i drove to school i did many things that day. I just thought i was tired. Saturday i woke up and had to call mom because my hips and my legs hurt so bad! We went to the ER they said i had mono to go home and let me sleep. If mom would have left me alone my GBS could have prevented me from breathing... Monday i couldnt walk at all (this is something i think many of you dont know. I was almost paralyzed from the waste down.) mom took me to my doctor who looked at me for maybe two minutes and told us she was sending me to ruby by ambulance. I was admitted to the PICU. Testing started and Tuesday a spinal tap showed that i had GBS... My treatments started that night. Today at 4 i will start my last treatment! Everyday i get just a little better!! I can walk a short distance to the bathroom with moms help! I took so many things for granted like walking, talking, smiling, being able to stand in a shower, and moving my fingers and toes! This has taken all of this away from me. Im luck because they caught it soon enough i didn't need breathing tubes. But that doesn't change the fact that i cant walk on my own or fix my hair. I dont want to make this post to upset anyone but just to let everyone know how serious i actually am! This isnt going to take me down anyone who really knows me knows nothing can do that but it has taken a lot from me that i have to learn to get back! A week ago i was driving on the roads and now im in a hospital room not able to walk without a walker and someone holding my shirt to catch me when my legs give out. I am a strong person and will get through this and back to racing but it will take time. Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes! This post has taken me a long time to write but im glad i kept the strength to finish it!
