injury report: ANA F Patrick Eaves Diagnosed with Guillian-Barre Syndrome

[Phil]

ANAHEIM, Calif. ? Anaheim Ducks forward Patrick Eaves has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, and his hockey career is on hold while he recovers.

 

The Ducks announced Eaves' diagnosis Monday, and the club disclosed that the veteran goal-scorer was in intensive care last week.

 

Eaves is still hospitalized in Newport Beach, California, but his condition has stabilized.

 

Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare disorder in which a patient's immune system attacks the nervous system, sometimes resulting in death. Eaves' condition was diagnosed early, an important factor in successful treatment.

My dad had this as well. Its a scary disease because he would be fine and then just fall over. Hope he recovers soon.
