Do we have to do that?Putting my pants on ... Hold on.
Hello!
Do we have to do that?Putting my pants on ... Hold on.
Hey, I thought you were gone tonight! (I closed my eyes, not to worry.)Putting my pants on ... Hold on.
That's amazing. Best of luck... and skill!Well, long story short, when this happened, they had a very limited time to design this to try and save his life....experimental surgery at it's best. They produced this in less than 3 days. They had never tried this particular approach before, and hubs is now documented as the worst case ever to have reconstructive thoracic surgery for this condition. They know it's now stable now and has shifted, with some of the screws lose. What they are trying to do now is design new bracing to hold it together in a more stable mannner that still allows him to breathe.

Thanks, Ben. He fell off a ladder. Simple as that. Crushed his chest on April 24 of this year. 26 days in hospital and 2 surgeries later we got him home, but things still iffy.That's amazing. Best of luck... and skill!
Yes, one of the problems is he can't completely inflate the right lung, which leaves it with "pocket" air space between chest wall and lung. At risk for a collapsed lung all the time. I watch like a hawk on that.so still having breathing problems
