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.

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.

Bobby got to come home today! He and Mom decided to wait on the surgery after getting a second opinion. Sorry for the lack of updates. We are all exhausted...
