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.

I'm still... a little in shock, but I'm trying not to, you know, totally panic until we know the extent of the damage and what we're going to do about it.

Huggles back! Love ya so much! My bestest friends give me the strength to cope with this stuff!

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!

Oh, your poor sister. I hope the treatments bring relief for her for many years to come before any major procedures are necessary.
