I had a spontaneous pneumo about 4 years ago - my problem was that every time they reduced the suction that was keeping the lung inflated, it would go down again - I ended up having a surgery that prevented the lung from deflating.

4 years later, I continue to have severe asthma symptoms ( I never had any issues before the pneumo.)

I'll continue to keep your family in my prayers.

Angie,
My husband had the same thing happen, a spontaneous lung collapse. He had the surgery that you are describing where the make the lung "stick" to the outer lining so that it won't collapse again. He came through the surgery with flying colors, and my husband has many many other problems, heart failure, kidney failure, asthma, and diabetes. I want you to know that he did just fine. The surgery wasn't as bad as when the lung collapsed.

I hope your brother decides to have the surgery. The likelihood that this lung will collapse after surgery is pretty low. It might happen, however, to the other lung.

Please take him my best wishes and encourage him to have the surgery.

Angie, how's Bobby doing? Did he decide to do the surgery? All of you are in my prayers.

[Marilyn]

Yes, Angie, we are here for you. Hope your brother is doing better and that he does have the surgery. Sounds like this may be the best option for him.

Hey Angie, hope all is going well for Bobby. Sounds like the surgery is the best option for him. I know you all will help him with the best decision for him and your family.
