Heart Breaking

Today was the hardest day we have had so far. Mom has had a pneumonia in her lungs that just hasn't cleared up with the antibiotics. They are concerned that it my be a fungal infection. The plan was to do a scope of her lungs today determine what was going on. But last night Dad got a call to come to the hospital because she was having a hard time breathing. They moved her to the ICU department at the Huntsman Cancer Institute because of her breathing and she had very low blood pressure. From there things went down hill quickly. It got harder for her to breathe and CO2 was building up in her blood. They started her on a CPAP breathing machine. They then transferred her over to the ICU at the UofU. There the doctors decided she needed to have a breathing tube put in. She is now on a respirator. It was very traumatic for all of us because she was so afraid to have this done to her. She has endured so much. We just don't know how much more we can ask her go through. We're just heart broken.
