| Luanne and Sue talking about treatment dates |
Today was an interesting drive down to Rising Sun, MD and thru the
beautiful lush green countryside. We visited Dr. Riddle's horse farm and his
hyperbaric oxygen chamber. His wife, Luanne Riddle, was the good will ambassador of the farm and handled the chamber like the expert that she is.
Pixie was in the "chamber" for about an hour. When she
came out she seemed very nervous & was quite anxious to be with
us. Luanne explained that each of the high pressure treatments will reduce
the size of the slit in her right cheek and help prepare the tissue inside
her mouth as well as outside for healthy growth.

We could watch Pix through the porthole in the
massive chamber. This chamber is big enough for three horses, since
it was built exclusively for their racing horse patients, but it works well for
even little Pix. We expect to return again tomorrow for another treatment
since having them close together seems to guarantee more success with her
radiation fallout.
