The Fighter

Nonnie has been at UCLA for the last 11 days fighting an infection in her lungs. She has undergone countless tests and exams to figure out what was causing her fevers and respiratory distress. She has continued to improve dramatically since the weekend, and is hopeful to be released some time in the next couple of days!

During her hospital stay, she has been on a high volume of oxygen, and she is being "weened" off over the last several days. During all of her tests, we learned a lot about what is "was not", i.e. (bad stuff). The most conclusive result came back yesterday as being some type of bacterial infection. She is increasing her respiratory volume and exercise program and eagerly awaiting her discharge.
