My mother was hospitalized in January 2015 at a regular hospital. She had a temperature while she was getting a blood transfusion so they admitted her. She was doing fine, but they diagnosed her with MRSA and pneumonia due to lung x-rays. That hospital wasn’t helping her so we transferred her to Indiana University hospital. They did many tests to check her lungs. But she had a fungus called Aspergilliosis in her lungs. They never would have guessed that that was what was in her lungs. So I still don’t believe she has pneumonia or MRSA. I think it was the fungus the whole time. Her immune system couldn’t fight it since it was so low from the chemo treatment to start her bone marrow transplant. So fast forward, March 2016. Her body started to shutdown and she did some dialysis. March 27, 2015, she passed away. I honestly never had the thought that u would lose my mom to it.
I highly recommend Indiana University Hospital. I wish we would have went to them ASAP. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them. Nothing will bring my mom back and I hate it, but if I can help someone here that will mean a lot to her and my family.
