Milestone Birthday Celebration

Dee approaches a milestone birthday this week... a milestone in so many ways. We're truly grateful to have here here with us after all she's been through these past two months. We're celebrating this Saturday February 28th in the hospital cafeteria from 2-4pm. If you'd like to be included on the guest list, please send an email to request an online invitation.

She began her Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy yesterday- Here's how it works: she is encased in a bed, or "chamber" and is exposed to pure oxygen. This helps supplement the oxygen her blood supply is already providing to her wounds. The pressure changes in this chamber much like a it would on an airplane or underwater diving. She can even see through the case (most patients watch movies during treatment), and can also communicate with people outside the chamber. She'll receive treatments 5 days a week.
