Andy needs prayers...

[ramanth]

Halloween weekend, Andy woke up out of deep sleep at 7 a.m. gasping for breath. He assumed he was having an asthma attack or allergic reaction to Kia.

Well, he went to the doctors today because he was still having shortness of breath...

The doctors took x-rays and found the problem.

His right lung patially collapsed. O_o

The doctors are putting him in the ER overnight for observation. I'm trying not to freak out but the doctors told him he was lucky he didn't die. :eek

ahhh!! Why doesn't he take better care of himself!? *cries*

When Andy was in high school, his left lung collapsed.

As an asthmatic who has been hospitalized twice for it, I know not breathing is NOT fun! Poor Andy, prayers on the way for him! Can Spider-dog visit him in the hospital?

[catnapper]

How terrifying! On Halloween night too! I hope he will heal fine. You both are in my prayers.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh my! How scary for both him and you! I will definitely be keeping you and Andy in my thoughts and prayers!

But, I have a question. I know nothing about asthma except that you can't get enough breath, but is having your lungs collapse a common thing with asthmatics? I've never heard of anyone just.....have a lung collapse. I mean, if he was playing football or something and took a hard hit I could understand, but just sleeping away and your lung collapses? That's really scary!

[Tonya]

How scary! I'll be praying for him.

[Lilith Cherry]

Poor Andy and you too of course! Prayers and goodthoughts speeding towards you both!

You know, Debbie, I don't know, but I suspect it's because of his overall size. He's such a skinny boy.

I can't remember what caused his lung to collapse when he was in high school, but I know it wasn't from sports.

He had asthma and allergies real bad as a kid. His asthma went away over time and he's still allergic to cats but Kia doesn't bother him. So when he couldn't breath that Sat. morning, he wondered if his asthma or allergies to dogs were coming back. He hadn't taken meds for it in years.

He did pull a muscle moving bookcases a few weeks ago and the doctors said that could of triggered it too.

Oh Kimmy,

I'm so sorry to hear about Andy. I hope and pray he'll get better soon. If taking Eli will be a problem, PLEASE let me know. I can always figure something else out. Andy's health is what is important.

Prayers coming your way!!

Love and hugs,

Donna
