I wanted to give an update on my sister who had lung cancer surgery Sept 4th & was home on the 9th & then had a collasped lung & had to be rushed back to the hospital on Thursday: They finally found a bed for her @ midnight sew they took her from our local hospital to a specialist hospital by ambulence. They had to "de-compress her lung again because local hospital did not do it properly? & they have found a small hole which is why it collasped last week. They are going in today laproscopically to see if they can fix the hole & then ............fill it back up? or pump it back up? I am not sure what they call it but hopefully we will have good news today! Please continue to add her to your prayers Thank You All sew very much! Hugs Loralye

Will do Loralye. It appears that she is getting the best care since she is now at a specialized hospital. Please let us know. ;)

I'm glad your sister is in a hospital with specialized care now, and I'm sure with that kind of care she'll be ok in no time. Please keep us posted, and of course she will be in our prayers. Please, please don't think I'm being insensitive, but I'd sure be interested in seeing how they "blow up" a lung again, it just sounds like such an awesome thing to be able to do! I'm so glad medicine has come so far that these things are possible now, and we are saving so many lives that otherwise would have been lost. I hope God guides the hands of the doctors and nurses, and that she'll be better quite soon. Big hugs, Marji

it sounds really odd to me but when they explained it they said her lung deflated? & they would have to patch the hole & then re-inflate it? All I could say was "like a BALLOON?"
they said "yes" go figure? We are still waiting to hear when she goes in the recovery room, thanks MArji Hugs Loralye
