Well, we finally have the answer as to why some of the worlds strongest antibiotics and antivirals were not working... Seems, all that scarring and inflamation in her lungs is being caused by 'Pulmonary aspergilloma (mycetoma)'.
Don't know what the hell it is? Well until today I had only heard it mentioned one other time... That time was during an interview with the pre transplant coordinator at the TGH. She explained to us that this is a fungus that exists pretty much everywhere around us, but thrives in certain areas such as inside vacuums, carpets etc... Also found in basements etc but especially in bird poop etc...
Looks like my wife and I may have to rip out all the carpets in our house (upper floor only) and replace it all with easy to clean hard flooring... Not such a bad idea and I think we can write off the expenses because it is being done for the health benefit of my mother who is one of our dependants...
What a crazy world we live in, solve one problem, find another one to deal with... Such is life eh?
Oh, also the starter is dying on our car... Part is ordered and will be ready for them to replace by next Thursday... Thankfully still under warranty!
Cheers!
