So nervous today as hubs is having chest cavity drained. Such a scary thing. You need your lungs!! Just wondering if anyone has had this procedure and what to expect. One good thing is smoking is the least of my worries today. 
Thank u so much Colleen. Our Lord is so sweet to send those to pray for us. I'm thankful for your prayers and always your thoughts and encouragement. Hope you are having a wonderful day!!
Many years ago my husband had fluid drained a couple of time for his congestive heart failure. They were able to do that bedside. Don't know how similar this is. Does he need anesthesia for the procedure?
I think a local...and did he get better after?
In his case, it was to give him temporarily relief. But remember, it was for a different medical condition. If it's done the same, I sat there an watched and my husband didn't seem to be stressed. Will be thinking of you both. Please let us know how it goes.
Will do . Thank you
Our prayers are with you hubs, everything will work out okay.
Prayers for your husband!
Prayers for both of you. DO keep us in the loop.

Update in blog post day 8
My dear Mom, no longer with us, said it was very painful. However she recuperated and beat Hospice for quite a while. She did tell me she would never say yes to go through it again.
Hi Rachy2283 when I said my morning prayers, I lifted you and your hubs in prayer...you and he have been on my mind for days...I haven’t a clue what draining a lung is like, however, I would think from me having asthma anything that clears out my lungs makes me and my breathing feel better...hang tight hon and keep us posted...~ Colleen
