Abnormality is @ 3mm & New Pneumothorax

[Guest guest]

Of all the blasted things now, 's got a new chest tube today. His right

lung is now collapsed again, the first time for this lung since his collapses in

September and October of 2004. His seventh pneumothorax (collapsed lung)

in all in just 15 months. And of all things . . . SEAN told us it was

collapsed.

He said his shoulder hurt and it felt like when his lung was collapsed.

Turns out, docs figure about 50% of his lung is down. I'm going to see if I can

get the images from this collapse put on a cd so I can post a picture of it.

Other than THIS, he's been doing pretty well the last few days. Gaining

weight. He did drop a smidge over a few days, but came back up and hit 21.0

kg last night. Then he puked. LoL.

I plan to get some family pictures done as soon as possible, as we have

NONE since was about a year and a half. Hopefully I'll be able to do that

soon. Now that Jon's here for the weekend would be great, except Emma's

gone off to her Dad's for the weekend - LoL. And tomorrow 's

scheduled for a procedure that's going to make him miserable. So, we'll see.

Docs did say, also, that the " abnoromality " they see on his MRI appears to be

about 3 mm. The plan is to test for various other odd levels of hormones in

his system (prolactin, etc). So we'll see where we get with all that.
