Nope.

It's all about his size. He's 6' and when they weighed him at the hospital he's only at 122 lbs!

Pretty much his body isn't properly supporting his internal organs.

How horribly frightening for you both! Prayers coming from the East Coast for a speedy recovery for Andy. That fiancee of yours needs some more meat on his bones!! Gee....I wish I still weighed 122 Lbs! And then again I wish I was 6' tall. Very best wishes that all works out.

[Cincy'sMom]

Sounds like you need to bulk that boy up!!

I think the hardest part would be leaving him alone at the hospital I suppose it may help him rest though.

Hope things go well and he can come home soon!

I'm sorry, I'm just seeing this now.
I will keep you both in my prayers.

prayers being sent Kimmy and Andy!

[BCBlondie]

Yikes!!! I hope he gets better soon!

[Miss Meow]

How scary for you both. I'm so glad Andy got to the hospital in time - and I'm sorry they kicked you out after visiting hours.


{{{hugs}}} to you both.

I can understand the small frame too. Ben was only 5' 3" tall weighing about 6o lbs 2 1/2 years ago . Now 6' and weighs 140. I have always had to fight him to eat. some days he eats like a horse then goes a couple days not eating enough to keep a fly alive.
May sound like a silly thing but it helps keep Ben and his weight up Those drinks for seinors. he adds them to his reg daily schedual usually 2-3 a day.

After talking to mil hubby had same weight problem too as a kid. I met him 6'1' and 170 . after we got married 6'3" 180.after 15 year of marriage.
just before cancer stuff 6'5 200. now 10years after 6'5" and 235 just right.
Marry that boy soon and fatten him up
Sending many good vibes for you both.

We're all Praying that lung puffs up today and they
Kick him OUT this afternoon!!

If they insist on "keeping" him another night -
try talking to the Charge Nurse before visiting hours are over -
see if he/she will bend the rules and let you stay till bed-time.

Whenever Mom was hospitalized, I tried to be "helpful" by assisting
at meal times and doing the little things - drinking water filled, pillow fluffed,
*watch* the IV, go *find* the
Nurse rather than turn on the call light...
I found that a "helpfull visitor" was a *welcome* visitor!

FEEL BETTER ~ SOON ~ Andy!!

Well, Andy is home (at his parents house), but the doctors want the chest tube to stay in until Monday.

You can imagine he's not too happy about that.

So he's here and resting and has a bell if he needs anything. We have to keep the door shut because Kia keeps trying to jump on him.

Thanks for the good vibes everyone.

[Cincy'sMom]

Glad to hear Andy is home! We'lss still be thinking about all of you though.

[NoahsMommy]

You poor things!

I'll be keeping you and Andy in my prayers.

[RobiLee]

Kimmy and Andy, I'm just now seeing this. I'm sorry that you are going through such a difficult time. I'm glad to hear that Andy is home though. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lots of hugs for you both.....Robin
