We have several aloe plants in our yard and appreciate hearing others have used them for radiation burns w/good results. The RO's RN recommended Aquaphor over aloe and supplied a couple of coupons. I bought a couple jars of Aquaphor (14oz) as part of the arsenal.

Carol goes in Monday for her Simulation and will inquire if any scripts would be written for her burns.

Just as a side note, when leaving the hospital last night after Carol getting her PEG, the brakes went out in the van. Looks as if we'll be using the Transportation Services the hospital offers. Thank god we're only 20 minutes from the facility, with traffic.

Let the stress continue... smile
