Update From Lixy
First of all, Lixy sends her love and appreciation for all your thoughts.
Now, the latest news ...
Her sister is back home but not out of the woods. It's apparently not clear if the sister even quite realizes that she's home, although when she got there, she went to sleep easily and appeared to be at peace.
Lixy said she can't spell or pronounce the disease, but the doctors said that in laymen's terms it inflames the blood vessels (not ruling out mosquito contracted encephalitis). It is progressing and they want to stop it...and possibly reverse it for as much as they can. It is extremely rare and definitely fatal. The options the doctors have given are all fraught with danger and the decision is not going to be an easy one for her sister's husband. Your prayers and good thoughts are still very important to her so, please, keep them up. The stress on Lixy (and her hubby, too) is obviously very great.
I'll let you know whenever I hear from her.

If it's not a source of more stress, would Lixy ask the Doctors to write out the name of this disease?
But really, only if it's not a source of additional stress. No-one needs that.

Just heard again from Lixy. Doctor's indicated that the disease is not mosquito contracted encephalitis but rather something called Agranular Cystosis which is caused as a rare side effect from some prescribed medications. There is a treatment if it's caught in time and so we'll focus our prayers on those treatments being delivered in time. Please, keep up your thoughts and prayers as well!

Hm, a search on various medical websites for "agranular cystosis" eventually resulted in some vague information on granular cytosis and the locking up of my browser window.
Shit.
I'll just have to settle for sending less-informed hugs then I otherwise would have.
