Trying to get a headsup on it so I know what to do and what not to when she gets back.
Not after any google info, after anything where people have had some experience with it.
Thanks all.

so sorry to hear this - - my mom was diagnosed with it (though oddly she never smoked) and has been on some drugs (some kind of steriod i think) and has maintained her lung capacity fairly well. . . hope it all works out.
oh - how is your health after the accident??
