Over the last two weeks Nancy has been receiving her Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments on a daily basis. She has adjusted to the schedule, but it is still about a three and a half to four hour process between getting to the hospital and back; waiting time and the actual treatment.
The wound doctor sees improvement in the wounds but the progress is slow. Recently he changed the packing to hopefully accelerate the healing. Nancy is still on some heavy duty antibiotics as she still occasionally runs a low grade fever. She is tired of having to deal with the wounds as the dressings have to be changed daily by our children who are nurses.
On a positive note her hair continues to come in and her eyesight is steadily improving. She is able to take walks and get out to the store.
Monday June 17th we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. We had talked about going back to Colorado where we had our honeymoon; but with the the treatments we put that on hold. As it turned out it was a blessing in disguise as Colorado Springs has been experiencing those horrible fires.
We managed to spend a few hours on the boat on Thursday and it was great to get back out on the river.
Several friends have brought over meals and we are very grateful. We are also grateful for all the thoughts, cards and prayers; including prayers from a business colleague of mine in Hong Kong.
She has a busy schedule ahead on the weekend with a bridal shower and also a wedding on Saturday.
Thanks to all who have been so generous.
Bob
