Welcome friends and colleagues of John Tanzella, CEO of IGLTA

For those of you just learning, John was admitted to the hospital in Palm Springs, CA right before Thanksgiving and diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome stemming from an intestinal infection. Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a  is a rare neurological disease and autoimmune disorder.

The syndrome has left him completely paralyzed and on life support for breathing. He is moving his shoulders, his jaw, and his tongue trying to speak and communicate but as of late displaying signs of delirium.

John has since been moved to Kindred Hospital Ontario, in Ontario, CA.

John has been having chronic infections that are addressed and suppressed during the treatment, but never go away.  As soon as the treatment is stopped they begin to come back and are taking a toll on his body. John will move to another facility, but the process can take time to find one that will accept him that has an empty bed. As soon as I learn when, I will update the site to let you know, but for now he is at Kindred Ontario.

Prayers are welcome.
