Update on pberggren

[Alysia]

I have the Nazi Nurse again tonight. Thankfully he is off shift soon. He was a bit rude to Alysia insisting that she leave right away as it was after visiting hours. I could see she was crying when she left. One more time and he gets a piece of my mind. I just told Our Lady to make him a Catholic. If he was Catholic he would be nice of course.

here is the cxr with the 2 tubes inside: the upper one is coming from the back. the lower one was higher but collapsed. the darker area at the top of the right lung is the place of the collapse.

So sorry I haven't noticed this earlier. Haven't been much in the forums. Feels so strange to see pictures of you in a hospital bed, especially when I'm also lying in a hospital bed. Lots of good wishes for you and hopefully we both get sent home soon. Although my problems seem so minuscule when looking at the hardship you have to go through. Its a good thing Batman is the champion.

I hope BOTH OF YOU can go home soon!

Sorry to hear you are going through all this. I haven't been on the forum much lately and am so sorry to hear about all this. Will definitely be praying for you.

Hugs to to you and Alysia

Phil sorry you have a nasty nurse but lets not get into religion here. There are ALOT of nice people that are not Catholic.

Hey guys

Any updates?

Just thought I would chip in with my sympathises about the 'nasty nurse' scenario, jeez, I've been there!

How are things looking now?

[Alysia]

Hi. Phil is sleeping right now so I will copy the updates that he wrote on his timelime yesterday and today in facebook.
so, here is the one from yesterday:

We have some positives today. First the Nazi Nurse is not here. He sure tested my nerves and made my girl cry. And also back to digital tubes today with increased suction to -60. The transplant team will also come to talk to me tomorrow. If I was to warrant surgery for the pneumothorax then a transplant should be looked into as an option. Both Dave and Paul said it is a strong likely hood in my future. I hope this new suction will bring the lung up to the top but I have my doubts. I think this is as good as it will get. I'm hoping I can get a PICC line in this week as well. Getting tired of being poked, especially after the failed attempts by the Nazi. Alysia cried hard today after I said I think I would rather die than take someone's lungs. The theory of brain dead is a major grey area. I told her we would learn about this together.
