My brother Ryan

My little brother Ryan has been on his mission for 2 months how; however since he has been waiting on his Visa before he can go to Brazil, he has been in the MTC in Provo the entire time. Before his mission while he was at a basketball game in high school his left lung partially collapsed. It healed on its own and the Drs watched it carefully and continued taking x-rays just to make sure. Well my parents got a call on Sunday saying that Ryan had been having chest pains so they took him in and his right lung partially collapsed. They don't know why it happend; and it is healing on its own again. However, since it has happend twice within 1 year, he has to have surgery. They took him to a specialist and that is what was determined. They will do the surgery on both lungs and he will have to be in the hospital for 4-5 days. The surgery is on Friday in Provo. After he gets released from the hospital, he is going to be coming home for 1-2 weeks while he recovers, then will be sent back out. They say the surgery will be a very painful surgery, but if it isn't done this could happen again and could be life threatening. Please keep him in your prayers!
