Don't know much about pneumothorax other than that Findlay had his xray at birth and was on c-pap in NICU for several days.

We found out 2 weeks ago that Findlay has a heart murmer caused by PDA which is common in preemies apparently so he's back to see the heart doctor in 4 weeks time. It can close itself over time which is what they prefer to happen unless it's causing huge probs or doesn't close itself in which case I think they do a teeny op to close it.

Hope everything goes ok with little Brooke and let us know how everything goes
