I thank you kindly-The thing about ARDS-adult/acute resptiory distress syndrom is it isn't really all that rare-I just read that more people die from that instead of AIDS every year-ARDS attacks the lungs-it can be caused by so many different things-such as pneoumina, an infection from a broken leg, aspriation, surgury, sepis and the list goes on and on. ARDS isn't gender, race, or age based-anyone can get it. It's the most scariest thing I ever went thoough-my mother told me I almost died four or five times while in the drug induce coma. I would love to hear more about what your mother has also. It's good to know these things-it's scarey that people don't know about ARDS-a majority of them until their loved one is inflected with it.
God Bless,
Penny
