kids get in this horrible place to begin with?

Tall, thin males can suffer from this condition.
Why, they don't know. But they have problems with their lungs collapsing.
Many
of them it is a one time thing. But with some it becomes so frequent that
they
use this scarring procedure to stick the lungs to the lung cavity. The
holes
still happen (kind of like a weak spot on a balloon) but the lung will not
fall
down and the time out of his life would be a day or two instead of a
month.
We're kind of surprised at the folks we've run into who've said, 'oh, my
cousin
had that operation, or my friend, or my brother.'

hope you know my thoughts and prayers are with you all....
