Prayer Request-My Sister's Terminal Lung Disease

My sister was diagnosed with a rare lung disease on Friday, Interstatial Lung Disease. The prognosis is terminal. She is only 29 and in otherwise good health.

Appearantly, an infection, the nature of which is unknown, is producing a constant state of pneumonia. Since the doctors don't know the nature of the infection, they can not stop it. It is causing scar tissue to form all throughout the lungs. Scar tissue isn't very elastic and will not permit oxygen to travel from the lungs to the blood.

End result is that the doctor said in 1 to 2 years she will suffocate.

Requesting prayers for her and any medical info that could be of help/leads in stopping this infection before it ruins the remaining lung tissue.

A friend of my just died, she was the worlds longest living double lung transplant patient. She lived 12 years with her transplanted lungs. If it comes to that for your sister, I pray she does even better.

I failed to read the first sentence of your post completely - now I see - Interstitial Lung Disease. I'll do some checking .

God Bless your sister, and all who have been touched by her.

Have they ruled out Weggener's disease? My brother survived this disease that infected his lungs. It is a rare disease.

The sun, the stars, the whole universe man! She belongs to God and she should be made aware of how awsome that is. "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand." - John 27-28 I'm sure she's understandably scared, who wouldn't be? I know my destiny but passing through the door scares me too.
