[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I'm out of the room and can't see her at the moment,  she came round about an hour ago which was great news but said her side was really hurting. She's got pain relief so was awful to hear. The nurse said she'll get the new doctor to do a more thorough check when he starts rounds. She was starting to sound breathless and was quietly crying, but that's her trying to be as brave as possible.

About 30 mins later machines started beeping, her heart rate had shot up and her oxygen had dropped. The nurse has told me the pressure and fluid in the lungs has caused a pneumothorax (I think that's the word used) they're having to insert a tube in her side. She's already still so weak I don't know how much her body can take. I'm in tears right now. I'd do anything to swap places with her so she doesn't have to suffer. DH is better and is coming back and I need him as much as she does

She's strong, she's got this.[/quote]

OP, sending prayers that she's doing better than when you posted this.  A pneumothorax (collapsed lung) is typically very treatable.  Good for you for speaking up for her.  I hope your DH is there and you have support.  I'm thinking of you.[/quote]
