From happy, hardworking wife and mother to non-responsive quadriplegic almost overnight, and her journey back.


This is the story of one woman's fight, moving past exceptional obstacles, and finding the strength to push forward despite all odds. Erika Orriss tells of how she fought a battle against a rare neurological illness, Guillain Barre Syndrome, which she had never even heard of before. One day, she was picking her children up from school and daycare, and the next was on a trip to the hospital where she would reside paralyzed for nearly six months, four of which she would be on a ventilator. Aware of her surroundings and unable to speak, Ms. Orriss tells of the countless days and agonizing nights spent in fear and torment. As the memories were so painful, it took her twenty years to put pen to paper with any real intention of sharing her story. Hence the title, Twenty Years & Six Months.
