OMG, how scary for you and your son!!!
 I'll say a prayer for him and please keep us updated on his condition. I worry too about my son, he is 16 and so skinny. I keep an eye on him healthwise all the time. That God you were with him with this happened.Maybe you can rent him a laptop or some videos while he's in the hospital or find other ways to keep him from getting bored. Poor guy, I hope he's back to his ole self real fast!!

Oh my gosh!! I hope your son's lung heals on its own so he's able to come home soon. That's very scary but I'm glad he's okay. You are both in my thoughts.

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. http://www.lungusa.org/site/pp.asp?c=dvLUK9O0E&b=35772
