I just talked to Ben and got a little further clarification.  The entire left side of Ilana's body is experiencing paralysis.  So her eye is not producing tears, so they put a patch on it.  Enough of the epiglottis is affected that she is not able to swallow.  And she is having a hard time breathing because one lung isn't functioning as well and filling with a little fluid.  I sure hope I am not messing up these details.   
She had had Bells palsy before and it was temporary, so I am hoping it is something similar that will get better soon.  Ben is researching like crazy and hopefully the docs can get this figured out.  Her poor little body.
