There were some concerns that there might be something more...but it's "just" pneumonia. Still cr@ppy, but I'm guessing better than the alternatives. The doc came up to see Michelle after a CT scan to report "you're going to live"! She has pneumonia bilaterally(both lungs). They want to try to determine exactly what the cause is so to best treat, then she can be on her way! Hopefully she will be home today, tomorrow at the latest. Unfortunately her admission to Delta Hosp resulted in a little fluid loading, and she has some very uncomfortable bloating in her abdomen. Hopefully this will pass soon. Things have been been rough with Michelle's breathing for months, and it is suspected she could have been brewing something since the summer! So this is what immunocompromised looks like...
Here's hoping that with answers you will find relief! Love ya Chikadee!

“We have been friends together in sunshine and in shade.”
This is a blog for my amazing friend Michelle Way who is fighting the battle of a lifetime. Michelle has Wilson's disease, a debilitating genetic disease that affects the body's ability to process copper. Overtime internal organs can become damaged, and in Michelle's case her liver is failing. Michelle was officially placed on the transplant list in November 2008; and after a long wait finally received a live-donor transplant on February 16th, 2010!
