I have good news!

This is sort of confusing to me but it turns out that she only had the "precursor conditions for pneumonia." These were treated immediately to prevent the situation from getting worse. While both my Grandmother and Aunt were confused about the particulars, they were convinced in the end that Irene was given the correct treatment.

She, however, is not very happy. She still has a viral infection and is still coughing frequently and she is going through about two boxes of Kleenex per day.

I am so thankful that her condition is not as serious as pneumonia! {sigh of relief}

Thanks for your prayers and sorry for the false alarm!
