Jonas left lung collapsed yesterday afternoon. That is why he had trouble breathing yesterday morning. I am sorry I said to friends earlier it was a hum-dum day for Jonas. It was not, in the end. The medical team found out at around 5:30pm from a radio and immediately put a tube on his side to suck the fluids out.
Liquid did come out but Jonas still had trouble breathing and a fever. Dr. Ferri came over and decided, based on the radio, to insert a tube higher up near the collar bone to see if air would come out. I actually witnessed the operation while holding Jonas hand.
As soon as the tube was put inside, little bubbles of air started coming out on the other end which meant that air stuck inside the thorax pressured the lung to completely empty itself and shrivel. Letting out the sealed up air by the tube helped the breathing a little bit. The surgeon decided that we need to figure out where that air is coming from and ensure it is not from a leak in the redone stomach/oesophagus. That means Jonas is currently waiting to be brought to the operating room where the surgeon will do a complete check of the insides to resolve this situation.
I am going back to the hospital in the morning. It is a long night. I cannot wait to go back to Jonas bedside.
I will post again later today.
