Expert Breather @ Oxygen!

Had the consult yesterday with a dr. and team at the HCMC Hyberbaric Chamber clinic (see funny nurses - they understood Matt and his sense of humor within MINUTES of our arrival). Took a lot longer than we thought but its all good - Matt got a thorough check up, check CT looks good and in general he is in good shape, except for the darn mouth and the pesky infection.

Matt will start treatment on Thursday: every day, for an hour and a half each day, Mon - Friday, for at least 4 weeks and possibly 2 more after that. If the socket does not heal/close up Matt might still have to get a bone graft to his jaw but while the hyperbaric dr. is dubious our oral surgeon (Dr. Ha - we LUV him) is thinking positive. Keep your fingers crossed.
