My little brother just got admitted to the hospital for pneumothorax. We are three provinces apart, and I am going crazy... What can he expect for recovery? Please give some endouraging words...

Thanks

Catherine

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your brother! I'm not much help with this subject, but if you go to Google.com and type in pneumothorax it should give you some kind of information! Hope this helps until another poster posts to your message!

Don't worry, darling, pneumothoraces are easy to treat. He's where, in Manitoba? If he's in the hospital and can get a drain put in and can be given oxygen and can be watched and have x-rays taken, he'll more than likely be fine.

hey,

Thanks alot for the support. My brother is doing just fine. It was a scary time, tho, not knowing what was going to happen. He is basically not allowed to do anyhting for the next couple of months. No yelling, carrying on, rambunctious singing (which will be hard because we're Nfers, lol), swimming, flying, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on.

But He's fine

That's all I care about.

Thanks you again,

Catherine
