Dear user, GBS is a one time event and plasmapheresis is done to halt the disease progression. The recovery occurs slowly over weeks. So I think he just have to be on supportive management with good physiotherapy with time slowly he will improve. Only thing is that he should have any secondary infection or other complications.
