If Carl continues to improve the way he is now, he may not have to do the hyperbaric chamber when he returns as long as he keeps progressing.  We will keep you all updated and thanks for all your comments, prayers, and support!!!  KEEP IT COMING AND PRAY FOR THEIR SAFE RETURN TO THE USA FROM CHINA!!!
