    I'm so sorry , we mothers are supposed to be the ones that get sick not the kids..

    I have been helping my daughter with Lyme for over a year..she is 50. Now they are running tests to make sure her heart isn't being affected as she has been having problems..

    I wish your daughter the best and a speedy recovery.

    Don't forget to take care of yourself, we mothers tend to forget to do that..

    Big hugs..

    She has congestive heart failure. That's what caused the fluid in her lungs. Her heart is very weak. They are puting in a pacemaker and giving medication to strengthen the heart muscle. Then it will be diet and excerCise. She is 34. She will have to go on disability at least short term. LuCkily she has coverage. Her doctor is the best. He said she qualifies for permanent disability. Her job is very stressful. He sAid the damage to her heart was probably caused by a virus. Her jw father has been in every day. I've warned the staff he may try to interfere and she has told the that she would take blood if it came to that. In th mean time her lunatic x husband has found out that she is in the hospital and called and threatened to take the kids. By court order he only gets supervised visits. Luckily I'm here for now. Have to come up with a gAme plan for when She comes home. We don't know when. They have to get all the fluid from her lungs and make sure there is no more infection before they can do the pacemaker. I am numb. I don't have internet. Just my blackberry. So I can't update too often. Hate the tiny keypad Coffee

    Oh jeez Coffee.....I'm so sorry to hear this. That is pretty scary that a virus can cause congestive heart failure in a 34 year old but it sounds like the hospital and doctors are doing all the right things. Please keep us updated as to her progress.

    Wishing you guys all the best.

    It must be very scary with that diagnosis at 34, but she looks young and spunky and I am sure that with lots of love and butt kicking from her Mum she will be just fine.

    (I have had something similar myself, and I'm still here.)
