My mom's been not well for over a year, and after countless tests that ruled out everything they were at various points certain that it was - heart disease, COPD, severe asthma, etc. - she finally had a bronchoscopy on Thursday.
Friday night at 8pm an official from the public health department showed up at my parents house and put the house on quarantine. They're not officially confirming it until after some more tests on Monday plus further growth of the culture, but they are 99% certain that she has active TB.
They'll have more answers by the end of the week. We're relieved that there is at least a probable answer, that it's not something like cancer or COPD which would be worse in the long run, but right now we're just praying with everything in us that it's not one of the drug-resistant types and that the damage that's obviously already occurred in her lungs can be reversed and that she can go back to being her very active self again soon.
So your prayers/vibes/thoughts are all very much appreciated. FYI I'm Jewish but I'm a firm believer that no matter how you envision and reach out to a higher power, it's all the same in the end. So whether you pray to God or Jesus or saints or trees, if you light candles at an alter, chant, ring bells, meditate, or even just put positive vibes out into the universe, in in the end it's all the same. Whatever you do, if you have a moment, please do that for my mom.
