Under Attack...

This morning was dive #35 followed by dive #36 this evening. Nothing. Well, I shouldn't say NOTHING, but nothing clear and noticable right away....And we knew NOT to get our hopes up and have tunnel vision for one area of miraculous improvement, but we hoped anyway. Wouldn't you?
Nate's tummy is noticeably less distended- which is his yeast getting back under control...so YAY! in that department.Other than that it is hard to directly attribute any of his "new" tricks to HBOT. I wish I could. I really, really, wish I could.
SO, for now, it is down to our last 2 days of dives for this round and then there will be some decisions to make in regards to how we should continue with this therapy..or at all.
These pictures are from today..taken inside the HBOT...and it seemed that we were under attack from a small child that liked to press her little piggy nose up against the window. :)

"NATE! ARE YOU IN THERE?! IT'S ME, NEVE!!"



We are on dive #26 for HBOT...and well, nothing to report. :( I wish I could jump on here and gush and gush about change, but that's not the case..yet. BUT, no seizures (thank you!!!) so that is a victory in itself. We are up to an oxygen level of 10LPM, every time...and he uses the mask inside the HBOT to deliver the oxygen directly to his face rather than just the tube in the side of the rocket.

Nate and Neve have both been hit this week with the cough, fever, runny nose loveliness, so we had to take a 2 day break from HBOT. We seem to be on the upswing though so we will continue our rocket ship missions this week. We have a little over a week left for this first round of dives so I hope we can go hard core this week and make it count.

I always think it's so cute when Nate feeds Neve. She always wants his lima beans, so I tell him to "share with Neve". he thinks this means he has to physically feed her one by one, which is just so damn cute. :)
