"The situation with (Monsignor Thaddeus) Malanowski developed last summer (2002), when Terri began coughing up blood and appeared to have aspiration pneumonia."
"He told WorldNetDaily he saw her Saturday to administer the Sacraments and was impressed with the way she had recovered from her mid-August illness and a bout with pneumonia and sepsis over the Labor Day Weekend."

Thank you, I knew there was one episode of pneumonia, but had not seen any opinion that the cause was aspiration pneumonitis.
Amazing that there was only one and that she recovered, since bed bound patients often have reflux of stomach contents, as well as the risk of choking on oral secretions and the germs are much more virulent. In a patient with less cognitive function, it would also be expected that there would be less coughing.
