no they have her sedated so she doesn't fight the vent
Probably for the best; however, that has got to be hard.

they are not sure....they think it could have had some thing to do with the transplant but then my cousin's daughter had a similar auto-immune flair up several years ago (she was 7) to the point she almost died and they never figured out what it was in her either and she didn't have any other health problems at the time...so they are not sure if it is transplant related or notCould it be something related to hereditary?
That is a good questions Luv...
April...do they think the pneumonia triggered this auto-immune problem...
no just complicating it....but you remember the other flair ups she's had when she's needed chest tubes and things or over reacted to meds....they think those are all the auto-immune response

Oh........what about Mayo.......have they tried that?
I'm not sure....I know they have consulted Duke
It sounds like the team of Doctors are on top of trying to find out what is wrong.
I pray for answers.
they're doing their best

Maybe, it is something that is not related to the transplant or cancer. Are they testing her for anything hereditary issues?
yeah but no luck so far....she is testing negative to everything

That complicates matters. A person almost wishes that a positive test would show up so they could start fighting that. HUGS

I wonder if something with the pneumonia maybe the fungal type was a trigger.
no....because they think her other times she has over reacted to meds or developed too much fluid and needed chest tubes and things are all smaller flair ups of the auto-immune thing too
