First week of treatments


Well, we finished our first week of treatments. We are down to 20 feet of pressure. Billy Boy seems to be moving his feet more. He also is looking towards the sound of our voices more. Unfortunately, Thursday he threw up and aspirated on a little of it, from then on he had a rattle in his lungs. We didn't take him to the Hyperbaric Center that day so that we could keep an eye on him. Friday, we had a long day with Hyperbarics then a visit to the Oncologist for blood work. We were out from 8:00 to 2:00, by the time we came back, Billy sounded horrible and was running a fever of 101.2. Needless to say we had to put him on Oxygen that night and skip Hyperbarics again. Thank God for the Percussion Vest, we were able to up the treatments and start suctioning some of that gunk out of his lungs. He was able to cough and sneeze a few times and sounds better already.

We believe God brought us to that Hyperbaric place. Last Friday as Billy was getting in the tech (owner), Susan, asked if we could all pray prior to starting. She asked God to deliver the oxygen to the right places to help heal Billy, because we all know it is only God that can heal Billy. How awesome was that? If he can lead us to it, he can lead us through it!

Billy and I look forward to reading all the comments in the blog, and although we can't answer back, please know that we are greatful to see that everyone is enjoying it.

Also, Thanks once again to our church East Hills for your continued support.

Billy, you don't know me or my family. But, we pray for you and your family. We prayed when you were dealing with cancer, and we saw God's hand work in you. We are praying... Your grandpa have me this site, and I will be checking your progress because I don't want to miss God's work in you.
