Jeez... gotta get serious again

Most of you know the story of Sandy, my friend who came so close to death last year before she got a lung transplant. For those who don't know, she has a fatal disease call Pulmonary Fibrosis. You think CH is evil? You should check this bastard out. It has killed her whole family and I've helped her bury them all (mother, sister, brother...)
Well, Sandy was doing pretty well for a woman who was 3 hours away from being 'unplugged' from life support back on Dec 14th. Unfortunately, she is back at Stanford Medical now with a collapsed lung and I can't get any information that makes me feel better. I know she needs vibes and prayers and voodoo magic, so if you can, let loose and send some her way I would be grateful. They are talking about surgery to remove the remaining part of her one original lung (some of that had to be removed some years back) but that would leave her with only the transplant lung and no safety net if the transplant is rejected. Arghhhhh.
Anyway, any help appreciated.

Shawn- Sandy is a true fighter. She has survived so much already- she has you and I'm sure others to stand beside her while she beats the odds once again.
Please add my vibes, juju, prayers and fervent wishes that she, once again, stares pulmonary fibrosis in the face and says NOT ME!
Lucky Sandy, to have a friend who stands behind her when things are tough.
Thank you for telling us Fu, and please keep us posted.

Latest update is they are going to attempt to locate and relieve the air pressure that has built up inside her from a leak in the old lung (the 2/3 of a lung that is original). The surgery is tomorrow, and if it is successful she would be able to keep the lung for a while. I guess the hole in it is supposed to heal up once the pressure is relieved.. hell I don't know. I will update you all late tomorrow.
She is so sad and depressed. She's got one of those incredibly painful tubes shoved into that lung to drain it, but they haven't found the proper positioning for it yet so they keep 'adjusting it. If you've ever had one, I know you're shuddering at the thought. Spending 3 months in Intensive Care at Stanford can make you want to avoid hospitals you know.
Every time I ask you guys, she makes some incredible progress, so don't fail me now. I can't deal with losing the last one.
-Shawn

Prayers said for Sandy.
I pray that her new lung holds up and that the 'old one' starts behaving better.
We should count our blessings at times like this, I certainly do. CH feels like it's killing us, but it won't unless we let it.
I also feel like a complete shit for being a smoker.

I am "offering up" Cluster Pain for Sandy's sake, for her recovery, for her easing into the next best thing for her.
I offer this in union with the pain of Christ.
Amen

Prayers and well wishes to Sandy, and to you to keep you strong for your friend. My brother had a collapsed lung when he was younger and had that tube stuck in him, it was horrible to watch him go through that pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you...

Prayers and Vibes already there for Sandy and for you because she is truly blessed to have a friend like you. If more people in this world were like that, wouldn't this be a great place to live?
Peace,
