Anaheim Ducks forward Patrick Eaves is in stable condition in Newport Beach’s Hoag Hospital after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, the team announced on Monday.

The condition is a disorder that causes the body’s immune system to attack the peripheral nervous system.  After feeling weakness, Eaves visited Dr. Robert Watkins Sr. and Dr. Danny Benmoshe last week and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital.

Ducks right wing Patrick Eaves is currently resting comfortably in stable condition at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach after being diagnosed with what is suspected to be Guillain-Barré syndrome, a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system. After feeling symptoms of weakness, Eaves visited specialists Dr. Robert Watkins Sr. and Dr. Danny Benmoshe last week, which later led to Eaves being diagnosed and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the hospital. Eaves’ condition stabilized over the weekend and he was transferred out of the ICU. 

Eaves is expected to make a full recovery.

Well his season is more, or less over...Poor guy can't catch a break.

Hey, that's not fair.  The guy did evacuate the sinking ship knows as the Detroit Red Wings.  He had a career year last year.

Since leaving, he's played for Nashville and the Stars on teams that missed the playoffs 3 out of those 4 years. If he left a sinking ship, the life boat was already under water.

He did end up in a good situation with the Ducks, though.

This sounds scary. Hopefully he's alright. He has taken a lot of setbacks through his career and it's a credit to him that he's kept going and even improved through it so that last year was his best. Just look at the GP throughout his career: half years are more common than full years and only 5 out 12 years has he played more than 60 games.
