- Hi i'm katy, little katy to my mates.. have two dogs, a tattoo and waiting for new lungs... I have OB its pretty rare... to raise a little bit of awareness heres what it is..Obliterative Bronchiolitis (OB) is a rare and currently irreversible lung disease that occurs in children and adults after injury to the lower respiratory tract. The small airways in the lungs become inflamed and scarred and this can often progress to obstructive lung disease. As the small airways are no longer working properly the patient developes a chronic cough, prolonged wheeze, shortness of breath and is unable to maintain any prolonged exercise. OB can be caused by infection, pneumonia particularly with virus's called adenovirus...
Hi Katy,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Traci and my daughter's name is Valerie. Valerie is twelve years old and was diagnosed with OB last Friday. We are still in shock at our house, but searching everything possible to try to gain knowledge and understanding.
We so hope that you are able to get your lungs very, very soon.
Lynne from Breathtakers found us yesterday too and I'm eager to talk with her. I plan to write to her tomorrow.
May I put a link to your blog on the new blog I'm putting together for Valerie?
We wish you well!!!!
