Broken ribs are a pain (in every sense)...

Here is an update from Jeremy: 

Well here is the update on Phil Brown. Dad managed to tear a hole in his left lung after the bronchoscopy. So this means that they have to put a tube in his lung cavity and suck out the air to fix the collapse lung. This most likely happened as he was coughing and he has a broken rib on  that side. The bronchoscopy was on the other lung. He is still having problems breathing and has moved up to the maximum amount of oxygen until the morphine wears off. So hopefully he will start breathing better and move from the mask back to the canula. 
The respiratory doctor came by to talk about the results from the test. They won't know until the cultures are complete on the pneumonia. So we are waiting for more information about that test. 
The doctor did give another possibility that there might be myeloma in his lungs so they are also sending out a sample to ensure it isn't present. (This is just a possibility - this is not certain). They might need a larger sample to check for they may have to do another bronchoscopy to gather more a sample. So that leaves a little more excitement for tomorrow. They don't want a biopsy into the lungs because there is a chance of infection and another collapsed lung with a biopsy. So I am praying that this won't be the case and it is just a matter of pneumonia that can be easily treated. 
It is more information but we honestly don't know anything until the results come back on the pneumonia and myeloma. Sorry for not alot of definite information about anything. Dad says hi and isn't enjoying the hospital much.

Love,

Jeremy
