My daughter Jamie is in the hospital with a collapst lung ,, would ask for prayer from who ever is willing. I am leaving for Missouri this morning where she is hospitalized.

Thanks everyone!!!

I will let you know how she is doing later

Aww man, im so sorry to hear that SS mate :(. My thoughts are with her and with you. Im not the religious type im afraid, so I can't really offer much in way of prayer. But i'll be wishing most sincerely for the best for her. Shall await good news. Im sure we'll get it.

I hope she gets well soon m8 :( , im also not religious but my thoughts are with you both at this difficult time :hug:

We'll keep you in our thoughts Ted. I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.

Very sorry to hear this...I will pray for your daughter's quick recovery.

Sorry to hear this, hopefully she is doing okay and will be out soon.

I have been hospitialized for this three times myself, something I've inherited. Getting a chest tube is a pretty traumatic experience but usually the worst of it and in most cases the lung will heal within a couple of days. :)

Very sorry to hear this news Ted. She is in my thoughts and prayers.:thumb:

Take care Ted! Hope your Daughter Jamie feels better soon! :) You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers!:hug:

All the best to your Daughter Ted, my thoughts are with you both and i hope she gets better very soon :)

hope your girl makes a swift and full recovery mate.

regards,
jim.

I will definately keep her in my thoughts and prayers Ted!

My thoughts are with you both, and I am sure she will be ok.

They put a larger tube this morning ,,she was in a lot of pain this morning ,but i will call tomorrow to see if she is better.

THANKS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure the doctors know more, but looking online just now it sounds like this is fairly non life-threatening. It can be immediately life threatening if it is caused by a puncture in the lung but it 'sounds' like that is only in the immediate need to insert a release valve into the air pocket. That would put your daughter's situation well out of the woods but of course still needing some treatment and serious healing unless there's some additional factor weighing in.

I'm sure it sucks but the outcome for this kind of thing looks good. I know at least one person that's had it.

I´m sure she will heal, you just give her a big sweet kiss on her forefront for me.

All the best for your loved one SlingShot...speedy recovery!

Didn,t get back till very late last night, they had to put in a bigger tube and when I got there she was out of it and in a lot of pain. We even took her daughter with us so they could visit.

I will be calling the hosital in a bit to she if she is better

Is this a spontaneous pneumothorax or was there an accident of some kind? I ask because the spontaneous pneumothorax is somehing I've had all my life. It's no fun but very survivable. The first time it happened I was in the hospital for 7 days and the other 2 times I was only in for about 3 days each.

The hole (bleb) that causes the leak will inturn, scar over and seal eventually unless it's really large, then they may want to operate but that's not very common. Once the lung starts holding air on it's own (not leaking bubbles into the water tubes the suction goes into) they will usually turn off the suction and leave the tube in for about 24 hours. If there is no leaking during that time, they will pull the tube and send you home.

The doctor said 2-3 days, i'm not sure of the tech term,

Okay, if it happened out of nowhwere for no apparent reason then it is a spontaneous pneumothorax. If they said 2 or 3 days then they believe that just letting the suction work for a couple of days will do the trick, and that is good news. :) Believe it or not this is not an uncommon problem.

I speak the truth when I say just believe in the healing power of Jesus Christ have faith and your daughter will be healed .

God bless you.

Just got off the phone with Jamie,, she still is in a lot of pain and has trouble breathing. The doctor still doesn't know how long it will be before she is releast, there has been talk of a transfer to Ia State University.


Thanks for the support!!

Thanks for the update, keep them coming. Why would they want to move her, is it a small hospital?

That is great news, I am so happy for you both :)

Well she is here but very tired and she needs lots of rest. Thanks to you all for the prayer and support!!!!!

Our Daughter Jamie is back in the hospital once again with the same hole in her lung. I wish they could figure out what is causing it. She's so young... only 21. :-( Dr.s considering removing the one lung. Thanks for all the prayers the first time around...if anyone has any extra's...they sure would come in handy now.

Oh no....you must both be so worried. You certainly have my prayers and best wishes, hope she will come through ok.

Christ light will prevail .........

Lord I repent and am praying in good faith for your glory that you would show us your mercy and pour out healing over Jamie once again I pray for full restoration Lord if it is your will let it be done.

Watch over and care for her in Jesus name I pray Amen.

Very sorry to hear this, I hope the best for her. You would think they could give you more of an explanation for this. I know that I have had this issue my entire life and if there is a big enough hole (bleb) they will surgically cut it out and sew it up but it's usually very small in comparison to the entire lung, why they would want to remove the whole thing is questionable, at least without explanation to a more underlying problem.

Well...I don't, for a second, believe in prayer...but I feel for you and hope things work out. If there's anything that I can do to help let me know and I'll do what I can - as will most here I think.
