Anita,

Thanks for the update. The tricky thing with Clark is he's been subjected to radiation and that will make healing tough. I had similar issues after my surgery, I had a section of my face that would not heal and wept constantly.

This process is tough dear so cry when you need. I will say this though, you guys are tough enough to get through this. There are some solutions to Clarks issues too. I would ask to have Clark referred to a wound care specialist. These medical professionals have many means at their disposal to help irradiated patients heal. Along with Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment there are several methods.

I went through 30 dives and then had to have minor surgery to remove the granulated tissue...the area looks great now. Believe it or not most of the white seeping stuff coming from that wound is sweat trapped in the area. I was surpised when my wound care dr told me that.

Since Clark has already done 40 dives it may be time for them to look at removing the granulated tissue and then close him up again. I know it gets tiring and you guys have been at this just a little longer then I have...but I can relate. It just seemed to be one thing after the next.

But he's still breathing and as long as he's alive there's always hope.

Thinking about you guys,

Eric
