Pneumothorax

The doctor called me in the late morning. He wanted to update me on Taylor's condition. Apparently, she had a pretty bad morning. Having pneumothorax... A collection of air between the lung and the chest wall that develops when air leaks out of the lung. She had to have a tube inserted into her lungs to kind of "patch up" the whole. It took all day, but her vital signs are starting to become stable again. Doctors were expecting it to happen earlier.
