My Mom

For those of you who don't know, my mom, Donna Bochner, has been in the ICU for the last week. A week before that she had knee surgery and seven days later her lungs completely shut down. Right now the doctors are treating it as pneumonia, but she is not responding as well as they had hoped and they now think there may have been a drug interaction between her prescription medication and the anesthesia. The majority of both lungs are non-functional. She has to wear an oxygen mask that is pressurized to reduce the work her lungs do. Their next step is to biopsy the lungs to find out what is actually going on. She has made some improvement though, but could certainly use your prayers.
