Today is Matt's final day of hyperbaric chamber/oxygen treatment! And here is hoping the healing continues - this as we leave for our summer vacation (camping on the shores of Lake Superior, whee!). Currently, the oral surgeon is voting "no" for surgery (bone graft) but the hyperbaric dr. is still on the fence....So the hope is that upon our return, Matt's hole has closed up just a bit more (it's still there with anitbiotic gauze stuffed in it - but less gauze than ever before) and we just have to be patient and let it keep doing its thing at its own pace. Keep your fingers crossed...

Also, today Matt has his mid-summer PET scan which is kind of a big deal - feeling pretty good about that too but we shall see.

Party at our house tonight to celebrate Mam's 18th birthday and graduation - what fun...

Happy summer to all.

June is Here

Well June has arrived in MN and a fabulous start to the month it has been - warm/hot, sunny...lovely!

The Matt-report of the day: happily the oxygen treatment really seems to be working on the mouth. Dr. Ha took the gauze out yesterday to see how it goes - this is the first step toward the final phase of healing so it is great news. Matt says it feels funny but not too bad...Not unexpected given he has had a hole with something stuffed in it in his mouth for over 8 weeks!

Neuropothy seems about the same - not better but not worse. Matt is still doing acupuncture so perhaps that is helping.....

Let summer begin. :-)
