Triple Session Tuesday!

Well, I do apologize for the lengthy delay in my blogs. Things have been going fine at he Centre though. We are looking forward to the next big thing for us, which will be the Scarecrow Festival in a couple of weeks. My wife and I will be covering a stall on the Sunday (it's a 3 day event) and so we will take photos for the FB Page and also I will write a little report for everyone.

Today I ran a total of three oxygen treatments at the Centre. The first one was for a new starter, and it went very well. She got on fine, despite having some initial concerns regarding sinus and ear troubles. I think she is quite eager and looking forward to doing more sessions and is very hopeful that the treatment will help to alleviate some of her symptoms, as do we :) She hung around the Centre for a time afterwards too, talking to people and getting to know us all a bit, which was lovely.

The second session was the usual 12:30 Tuesday lunch time session, which also went fine. We had an extra person in it today who was doing this session instead of the usual one. The main problem we experienced during this session was not related to the Chamber or session itself, but rather from above. On the floor above us, lots of people were having a good old clear out of stuff, ready for Nicki's new office to be built up there over the next fortnight. They made a right racket doing it, and we all ended up with headaches downstairs!!

The final session was with the autistic boy and his family as as usual it was a slightly trickier session, with O2 levels rising rapidly after 20-25 minutes, and the chamber required flushing by 35-40 minutes. This was fairly ineffective, probably due to the constant O2 flowing into the little boys plastic hood he wears (instead of a mask) and seeping out as he moves around a lot. We are toying with the idea of making his sessions 45 minutes rather than an hour in length. Quite often he only manages 45-55 minutes as we have to abandon the session, not being able to bring the O2 levels down enough.

More from me sooner (well, I will try..!)
