I am sorry about your son. What is this that I read that he has "air pockets" in his lungs? Please add me to your friends list so that I can email you

I am so sorry to hear that your son is being discharged, and you must be scared to death about the air pockets in his lungs. Take a deap breath, things will be OK. I agree with Rita, about calling legal, you can find the numbers on the Ship 17 group. if you cannot find it, go to my page. I am a member of Ship 17 moms. My daughter was also discharged. I understand some of the emotions you are feeling right now. Don't panic though, Ship 17 has gotten much better than when she was in there. When you call legal, ask them to bring your son down to the office and have him call you. Be nice, yet firm. Usually within an hour they will call. He will need to sign a waiver before legal can give you any information. Tell him not to sign anything, except the waiver, just yet. Frieda is also a member on Ship 17 moms and she would have great advice for you, as her son was also discharged for medical reasons. If I can answer any questions for you, I will try. You may not be able to get through to legal until Monday, but try not to worry, they will take care of him.

Call the number for Legal early Monday to express your concern, ask they get your son to call with more details. The 5 minute phone calls are so distressing. You get enough info to worry but little real facts.You need to get the name of the exact conditon so you can find out exactly what is going on.
Sounds like he needs medical treatment before they send him home. I am an RN who worked in respiratory, so I can help you with figuring that out.
You need to use the numbers I have posted at the top of Ship 17 Moms to help him.
Take a deep breath, read thru ship 17 Moms, and make a list, including the questions you have, for the next contact with space to fill in the answers. Having gone thru separation for my son, not for medical reasons tho, I know how hard it is to deal with those short calls.
