Dh has just gone to hospital, he thinks he has a collapsed lung, he's had them in the past, before we were together, he's plying it down but he always does. I'm scared, he seemed in a lot of pain. I couldn't go with him becuse dd (2) is asleep.
should I be scared? I don't want to google because that always comes up with the worst case scenarios.

It's OK, they will do an x-ray and insert a little tube to let the air escape, the lung will then reinflate. It's a common thing to happen, mainly to healthy men for some reason. You can call A&E to see how he is. He will be given some pain relief and really will feel better once the lung is at it's normal size. I know you are feeling afraid, they will look after him though.

I have to go to bed, I'm sorry, early morning. Do give them a call if it helps though. Night
