Our daughter Salma had a very serious Pneumonia and she was very sick. We were blessed that Dr Georgeson Keith was her pediatric surgeon. Her right lung was infected with Pneumonia and unfortunately she developed empyema. Dr Georgeson did the chest tube surgery for her but because she was very sick she had an air leak and unfortunately not like the majority of kids her air leak did not ceil for a long time and DR Georgeson was very patient with us and did not rush into the surgery that could result into removing approximately fourth of her right lung and he explained everything to us telling us that there will still be a probability that she will need the surgery. We stayed about 7 weeks in the hospital. Salma did not need the surgery and was discharged from the hospital with the chest tube that was gradually pulled out by several visits to the doctor office. Salma is doing great now thanks to God first and then having a wonderful Doctor in our small town Spokane.
