Angie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! I don't know your brother's history or what's causing the collapses, but when I had my lung surgery, they pulled my ribs open on my back/side and pulled my lung out. Then, they scrapped the pleurisy from the outside and tacked my lung to my inner chest cavity so it doesn't collapse again. I had two big drain tubes coming out for about 12 days.
Thank GOD for the morphine button. I was in ICU for about 20 days.
