recovery time for miller fisher

my
34 yr. old son has been hospitalized for over 6 wks. with GBS/ miller fisher. He started with double vision and tingly hands, by the 3rd day he was on a respirater, could not open his eyes , could not talk or move his body. This week he has started to open one eye and shakes his head yes that he can see. His blood pressure goes up and down and his blood sugar levels go up and he is given incilin. He is getting physical therapy once a day and the family also helps when we visit him. He moves his feet sideways on his own. The hospital wants to transfer him to a physical therapy rehab. facility. Do you believe this is the correct way to go? Since his case is severe, how long do you think it will take him to recover? The doctors have said it can be a year or longer.
