[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 348087, member: 1991"] Bloodwork all negative for anything abnormal. No sign of infection. Heart - OK as far as we can tell, although she has had some problems in the past with heart electrics needing to be worked on (she had some sections 'burned out' in order to keep the pacemakers working properly). Last one of these was some time ago, they know about it and don't think it's relevant. Lung biopsy - they haven't done it, they would need a general anaesthetic and they say she's too weak for it (which could also be why a lung transplant is unlikely even though they are beginning to think it's her last chance). I'll look up hantavirus. This has been long-term in development, in some ways. However, we do have to keep in mind that there could have been a pre-existing condition and something acute could be piggybacking. Thanks for the ideas. I'll pass them along. Marg [/QUOTE]
