Camille's stellate ganglion block went normally. I got to watch the procedure. It took 5-10 minutes of actual medical treatment+cleanup. I've included photos below documenting the drooping eye (part of Horner's Syndrome), which indicates the nerve bundle was affected. According to her Fitbit, she got her first 'excellent' sleep score in months (years?) last night. So that's a good start. If the treatment is effective, the improvement will be gradual over the course of weeks and maybe even months. She goes in for another block in two weeks. We'll see how it all plays out! Please keep praying.

Fun fact #1: When I saw the doctor and heard him speak, I thought I recognized him. And that's because he was the same doctor that did Dianna's block. It was obvious once I checked the video and saw the same unique glasses frames. Small world! Here's a short video on Dianna's channel w/ the doctor.

Fun fact #2: This doctor has done 3,000 SGBs. He said he does about 70 per month. It costs $2250 (not covered by insurance), which includes the initial video chat assessment, 2 SGB appointments, and 2 video chat follow-ups. When it is covered by insurance, my guess is they get paid even more? If so, Homeboy brings in at least $157,500 of revenue a month. They might need bigger pockets.
