Hyperbaric Oxygen: Sessions 7 – 11

He’s a quarter way through the series of 40. We’re getting used to being in the chamber, but can’t wait to complete all the sessions. It’s still a bit tricky getting the neck seal to completely seal around his neck as he does move around quite a bit in the chamber.

Last Thursday was a school holiday so he did two dives, one in the morning and another in the afternoon, with at least a 4 hour gap. I’m really trying to complete it as fast as possible, but am acutely aware that it tires him out (not to mention the boredom).

Last Saturday morning, he vomited his milk at home, and he started to cough the night before. So, to be extra cautious, I cancelled Saturday morning’s dive in case he had phlegm which may interfere with equalising. I gave him Promethazine twice on Saturday and thankfully, his cold didn’t progress any further.

To relieve his (and mine!) boredom and to de-stress from all the hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we went to Desa Park City’s park on Sunday morning. It was a good decision. We were blessed with cool weather while we fed the fishes and he rode his bike. Of course, there’s a bit of therapy that I snuck into those simple activities, but it really was mainly for relaxation.
