Yep I echo what DRZ says about research. Limit to the last year or two.
Your sister is in a similar situation to me back in 2003 - minus the cardiac issues. I got the 'sickest person in the hospital' award. I was on a ventilator with renal failure and it wasn't looking promising at all. I spent around two weeks in an induced coma and about five weeks in ICU. Thankfully my kidneys came back and are still with me. They have 50% function but I like to think that between them that makes one perfect kidney
The darkest days are at the start when all is new and unknown. You're doing great to research as much as you can but don't let all that information bring you down or make you feel helpless. If it does just stop and hang out with your sister.
Is your sister under a Wegener's specialist? Which hospital is she in? How long had she been having symptoms?
