OH NO! What a scary thing to happen! I pray everything goes well for him!

Yes very scary. I am glad that you were home, I will say a prayer that all heals well and that he will be home soon.

Thankyou all for your goodwishes, we went in last night and he is feeling better his xray shows his lung is inflating well and if it is the same today will be able to come home no opp thankfully. They have told us he has a 30/50% chance this could happen again in his lifetime but at least we will know what it is. I thank god I was with him when it happened and seeked help straight away.
He has tv and games with him but as he is in a high dependency unit there is a lot of noise ect going on so he finds it hard to concentrate.
Again thankyou all. xx

So happy things are looking bright for him. Hopefully it will never happen again, but like you said, at least you know what the signs are. Be sure and tell him the ladies at 4WT have him in our prayers.

Yikes!
I'm glad he's on the mend now and hope he will get to come home today.

If you'd like more info on what actually happened to cause this, there's a site I found that explains it in laymans terms. "Spontaneous Pneumothorax" is something we were trained to deal with in my EMT classes. It's pretty frightening for the patient, and their families, but usually has a good outcome if treated promptly.

Oh my! I am so glad he is getting better!

I know how frightening it can be. My daughter had a collasped lung due to pneumonia. It was the scariest things I think I have had to deal with. I am glad you were with him. At least now you know what to do should it ever happen again. Take care HUGS
