CMV pneumonia

My mom was admitted to the hospital over a week ago with CMV pneumonia. Her CMV levels were increasing but are lowered now. She has been on a vent for 9 days. We are at day +108 with the transplant. They are treating with ganciclovir and IVIg. I keep getting the news that this is about baby steps. She is not getting worse and her ABC is getting better. I just hate having her on a vent and I'm ready for her to improve.

Are there any good references that you can share to help know what to expect and look for and grill the doctors about?

Thanks
K
