Saturday Comes Around Again

Wow, the weeks go by so quickly! Saturday has come round again. Today's featured doughnuts were mini lemon iced doughnuts from Sainsbury's. Very nice, and the whole of the 'Saturday Team' highly recommend them! :))

Well, the dives today went very well, and it was very nice to see everyone today. In particular the 2nd dive for the little autistic boy that I have written about before on here, was excellent.

As you may recall, we normally have a lot of problems with rapidly rising oxygen levels during this session, and 9 times out of 10 we need to flush the chamber by about halfway through. However, today the O2% started on 20.9 and ended on 20.9! I had to keep checking to make sure it was those particular clients in the chamber! The only thing that has changed: a new hood for the little boy to wear. It is a bit on the tight side, and takes some getting into and out of, but it is currently leak-proof and so makes for an easier, hassle-free dive.

We have another couple of new trainee oxygen treatment volunteers who have started training over the week just gone. They have both made good starts and show a lot of interest in what we do. I look forward to working with them both again. We also have another new starter who is having oxygen treatment in the chamber. She is about a 3rd of her way through her initial 15 sessions and seems to be doing fine. It is fantastic to hear that she thinks the O2 treatments are already giving her some benefits. :)

Well, I'll keep it a bit shorter this time - I will try and write some more soon -

Hope everything is well and good with everyone :)
