The Calvary has Arrived! - 09/28/07 04:51 AM
It's a great day...Jeanne, daughter from Baltimore, arrived today...to visit with Bruce and relieve me from a bit of hospital duty. She could not have arrived at a better time. After 22 days in hospital both of us are more than weary, BUT progress in healing is on-going. I know that Bruce will heal and achieve his goal of a complete recovery; it's just going to take more time and patience than we ever expected.
We are eternally grateful to Bruce's blogger fans, prayer groups and all of you who provide continued support for us...including the "Hot Dog Club."
Meanwhile, I'm taking this … (3 comments)

 Love of family is just one of many gifts that are included in "The Ultimate Gift."  We decided to share our "gift of family" with you.

Progress...One Day & One Step at a Time 
Bruce's basic recovery from surgery on Sept. 5th was very good, but there was a complication we didn't anticipate, i.e. healing issues due to previous radiation and chemo treatments. The tissue in the neck area is abnormal from that treatment, thus the challenge of healing the tissue before progressing to swallowing and speaking issues.
His ENT surgeon decided that hyperbaric treatments would aid in the healing process and shorten the time needed to heal completely.  He began these treatments without any complication and we could see healing taking place. Then another complication presented itself … (3 comments)

Hyperbaric Treatment to Aid Healing for Bruce - 09/12/07 01:01 PM
Everyone:  It hasn't been the easiest of days, but a plan is in place beginning tomorrow for Bruce to receive additional treatment to fight an infection that manifested yesterday. Meanwhile, know that he is still hanging in here and anxious to receive the benefits from continued treatment.
Dr. Adachi noticed the infection yesterday and added a 2nd antibiotic to B's drug regimen. The swelling was down today, but she wasn't satisfied by that alone. Thus she ordered hyperbaric treatment (a bit more about that later) today to begin tomorrow for a series of seven treatments, but it may be more...only time will tell … (6 comments)
