Just an update.....
Chris is getting released from the hospital today, he still has a tube in his chest which is to evacuate air. As a result of the X-Rays, he still has a small amount of leakage from the lung, but the Dr., is hoping that will close soon.
So they want him back on Thursday to determine whether or not surgery is required to "staple" the opening. The Dr indicated that if the lung forms the scar tissue to close the opening, that there is a 30% chance of a reoccurance within the 1 to 1 1/2 yrs. If they do the staple then that goes away. So we need to wait and see what happens on Thursday.
Overall, he is doing pretty good, has occassional pain just due to the presence of the "tube". Certainly, will be glad when get back to primarily being concerned about trains.
