popped lung take 2

So if any of you read my blog a few months ago you would know that almost exactly 6 months ago Matt was in the hospital because he collapsed his right lung. He had what is called a spontaneous pneumothorax (if any of you have seen Just Like Heaven, you know what I'm talking about). It's basically a collection of air around the lung that puts enough pressure on the lung to collapse it. Usually when someone collapses a lung its because of some sort of puncture to the lung like a stab wound or a car accident. The first time it happened Matt was walking around on campus, who knew school could be so dangerous, huh? Anyway, apparently it is common in tall, skinny, young males. Everything that Matt is. So we spent 6 days in the hospital in December.

On Thursday Matt was at work (he works as a bank teller so nothing too crazy) and he felt the exact same pain as the first time except this time it was on his left side. So we went to my parent's house to get a blessing from my dad. We both felt very calm and felt like everything would be ok. So we didn't go to the hospital that night. The next morning though we both felt like we needed to get to the emergency room. So we did and basically we heard the exact same thing that we heard 6 months before.

It seriously broke my heart. My poor Matty. I hated seeing him go through it the first time and it sucks just as bad the second.

But if you know anything about Matt, you know that he can make people laugh even in the worst of times. We have done a couple photo shoots since he has been in the hospital that I think are hilarious. So I thought I would share.

P.S. Did I mention that we will be in the hospital over our year anniversary? Happy one year, huh? Ah well.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed those. I want to thank everyone who has brought us food or came to visit or  prayed for him. It means so much and we really appreciate it. Let's hope this doesn't happen again in another six months because then we will have a little boy to take care of! Cray-zay!
