Lung Looks Good

They did a CT of her lungs today, and they are dramatically better ! That means the antibiotics are working and that there is no inflammation from previous treatments, and no visible permanent lung damage. The doctors were worried that some of the chemotherapy drugs had done a number on her lung, but it seems that all that cloudiness was pneumonia after all. Had they seen persistent inflammation, steroids would have been prescribed; and, although they have done wonders for Barry Bonds, we'd just as soon avoid them, thank you very much! The antibiotics, albeit slowly, are working and her lungs are vastly improved. Prayers work ! Now we can concentrate on the plans for attacking the stubborn remnants of Hodgkins in the center of her chest............plans on that should be forthcoming shortly. You're not done praying yet !
