Some bad news

[zouzounaki]

So, today my sister was unofficially diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, the official diagnosis will come soon when she sees a specialist but our doctor's certain. Which is what we were scared about. In short, the scar tissue in her lungs is building up in such a way that it's restricting her air passages; it's treatable, but not reversible, so the question is how quickly is it advancing? Once we determine that, we'll know how she's going to be treated. This will all lead to a lung transplant in what I hope ends up being the far future, but she's just always been so sick.

So just... pray for her, if you can spare a thought.

We were warned a little while ago by our doctor that things were kind of headed this way, so I suppose, in the strictest sense, we were prepared. It's not like it came out of nowhere. But, damn.

You keep me strong! Hugs!
