Everyone has it in their body apparently but it can be triggered off any time. basically some of the body immune system attacks the lungs and kidneys. She is still very poorly but at least now the doctors can begin to cure her. She could be ill for about two years and she may require kidney dialasis. She has a long recovery road ahead of her but now we know what we are up against.

At least this is a start for your niece and hopefully she has a speedy recovery.

yes me to, at least you know what is wrong with her now.

I had the funeral yesterday and my results, it was really weird i was sad and happy, it was really weird feeling all day. seeing all the family is brilliant, they are crazy some of them. Feeling slightly hungover but oh well, we had a good celebration and Grandad would have really enjoyed himself if he were there. Really glads its over now.

Heya!!!!
Oh my god I havent been on here in ages, Ive been away so much, and on thursday morning I just got back from my 2 week hoilday in Rhodes. It was great there and very very hot and I have quite a good tan so Im very pleased and now Im back my roon is in a tip and I really need to unpack properly, but I met up with some mates yesterday we are really nervous about results everytime I think about them I feel sick. Me and my mates are planning to do something before and after, I feel better with them rather than my parents at this time, I mean I know they care and stuff but i just dont feel comfortable talking to them about that stuff.
Anyway Im gald to be back in a way I have so much catching up to do, on here and with mates and stuff. I just want to spend this week relaxing lol

Once again it has been pouring with rain all flaming day in sunny Edinburgh and another weekend ruined. There was a fun-day where we live today but I didn't go. There has been some improvenment with my niece. She is still quiet poorly but she has gone from recieving 100% oxygen down to 60% so that's a good sign. She is still on dialsys as they are having to give her fresh blood everyday. They are doing this for 6 days. We still don't know the long-term effects that this condition will have on her. The hospital want to test her sister and brother for the gene to see if they have it and she may not be able to have kids.

Well today i headed into Edinburgh with my grandma. As Kath said it was pretty crap weather! But we had to go in to get me a birthday present althrough my birthday isn't for another two weeks on monday but next week she's up in Dunblane and The Following saturday - 1st September she's in Spain so yeah:D

The only down side was i found out that she won't be present for my birthday as she will be in spain so that kinda sucks:(

That's a shame Tan, with it being your 16th and everything.

Had an okay day. Was supposed to be getting school shoes and was planning to take a detour into New Look, but my dad had a 1000 cc Yamaha motorbike delivered when he told my mum and me that he was having a 250 cc Aprillia. Went to do some work only to find that somehow another bit has gone missing. I must have left it on my account at school without knowing it, so I'll have to do it again. Had my hair dyed, but it's a bit darker than I wanted it to be.

I am having the most boring days of the summer ever! I have nothing to so apart from cook, clean and wash up and I suppose re-arange my room, whlist waiting for the dreaded thursday

There is a god. At last my niece is showing signs of improvement. she had a couple of bad nights at the begining of the week where she was having difficulty breathing when she was trying to sleep so they had to put her back on the breathing machine, but yesterday they took her off it she still has the oxygen but they reduced it today to 40% and she wasn't showing any signs of struggling for breath. On the downside there is still a leakage in her lungs and it is not cirulating around her body as it should be. They are having to give her fresh blood everyday and also plasma but it is making her legs swell. She is still on the kidney dialasys maching but because they are unable to use the veins in her arms they were insterting the tube in the groin, but that has become infected so tomorrow they are going to have to use the main artery in her neck. Poor huney she has really been through the mill. I haven't been able to visit yet as she is still critical and it's only her mum, sister and brother that is allowed in. She was starting to feel a bit better today so fingers cross the drugs are starting to work.

Having to take the day off work tomorrow as there is industrial action been called by council staff because the council want to close a number of school, nurseries and community centres over the city. The janitors, learning assistants and catering staff are all on strike so the school has to close.

Hair dye is coming out and now it looks like I have brown highlights when it's supposed to last for 6 weeks. Did that piece of work again, only to find that the cable for the printer. I can't go back to school without a new one because they said they weren't even taking it in on usb stick because we've had over the summer to do it.

Also finished English coursework, but still have a few little bits of work to do.

I'm glad your niece is getting better Kath and showing improvement. :)

I had a sleepover last night and only had 4 hours sleep and been out with mates today. Just got my results tomorrow! :D
