ok, so you guys know that i've got a girlfriend. well yesterday she found out she has a 1/8" hole in her lung and she might have a tiny hole in her heart.
she called me last night crying when she found out. it might be life threatening or it might not. the hole in her lung has been there for around a year now, but the doctors still aren't certain if there is a hole in her heart. i'm really worried about her right now.

wow, sorry to hear that. I have never heard of the hole in the lung thing before, must be rare. I know sometimes infants are born with holes in their heart. How old is she? Do they think that she's had these since birth and they are just now showing up? Again sorry to hear that, we'll be thinking of her. Stay strong.

a really good budy had a similar issue with a small hole in his heart but his was there since birth. now im no doc but the good news is that both the heart and lungs are organs that can regenerate however what they told him if his heart cannot regenerate at a fast enough rate to close the hole then he will need to have surgery to repair it. I did alot of reserch when my buddy told me about his condition and ive never herd of a hole just starting spontaniously so i dont know the reality of whats going on. however i hope that info is of some help and best of luck

)

exaclty. most of the time when that stuff happens its from birth. so if its all there, chances are there will be extra precautions she will have to take in the future, but otherwise she will be fine. Hopefullly this is the case

Glad to hear she doesn't have a hole in her heart, but ulcers are no fun.

well we both just figured out what caused the hole in her lung. she was coughing really badly today and out came a Brown Recluse spider!!
it was dead, but evidentally it had crawled into her mouth when she was sleeping and managed to get into her lung and bit her. that's what caused the hole in her lung. i was just sitting there like wtf???

A german shepherd once bit me on my @$$...i would rather much have that than a spider bite...but good to hear that your main squeeze is doing good
