Day 4 Update from Dad...

Arrived at clinic about 11:00 AM. Mom & Jamie went right in for stem cell injections and IV of amino acids and stem cells. BTW, Mom is doing GREAT. After that, Mom & I went into the hyperbaric chamber. Mom is having difficulty relieving the pressure in her ears as we travel down in atmospheres. It is painful for her, but she is a trooper. We were in for about 1 1/2 hrs total time. After that we were done for the day.


Dr. Karam asked us all if we liked steak. Obvious answer from all. We left his office, drove about 3 blocks and proceeded to enter a REAL Mexican eatery. Mom & Jamie had a rib eye, and I had a fillet. Not a morsel was left. Beef in Latin America is great, I know from my days in Honduras. We also had avocado, refried beans, chips, salsa, and pork skin rinds. Jamie's comment, we finally had great authentic Mexican food, and it was.

We waddled out of the restaurant and proceeded to the border crossing. We had the longest wait so far, about 1hr. 15 min. The girls decided they wanted to shop (real surprise). Dr. Karam dropped us off at Saddle Blanket of El Paso. Got here at 4:45 and found out they close at 5:00. Mom & J shopped fast and out we went. Cab back to Double Tree.

Really a good day except for the ear issue with Mom. I am not going to let her in the hyperbaric tomorrow. She needs some rest before we get on the plane Saturday.
My LOVE to all,   Paul J. Metzger
