Thanks for all the info, Christine. We discussed more HBO with the Doc and he felt that it wouldn't be helpful. Do you think we should insist on it. He said studies have shown that it's not that helpful in preventing more problems.

We go next week to set up all the planning. I will ask also about the skin graft. Also once the date is set, I plan to line up helpers to give me a break while he's in the hospital so that he has someone with him so that they can be his voice.

I can't tell you how helpful it is to be able to come here with questions and concerns. Thanks you so much for all you do here.
