Welcome to the world of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
BRAIN INJURY: Letter dated 11/23/1999
My daughter Jennifer sustained a head injury due to an auto accident 2 1/2 years ago.
Mentally she is intact but physically she has lots of problems.
Double vision-lack of balance-poor verbal skills-slow reaction time-poor trunk control, just to name a few. So, naturally, since she has poor balance, she is not walking.
Since we started (HBO) and have completed 40 sessions at Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, her speech has improved. She pronounces words much more clearly and completely. Her balance has improved. She can now raise up from a sitting position on to her knees and hold it. If she does fall forward, her reaction time has gotten to a point where she can catch herself, whereas before, she would just fall on her face. She is crawling much better and canstand much better without shaking or weaving. Her supported walking is becoming more strong and confident. She says she is feeling much stronger. She can also straighten all her fingers on her right hand where before she could not straighten out her ring finger nor pinky.
She seems a little lmore animated and not so robotic. She still has a long way to go but we are happy so far with the rusults and will continue with more HBOT in the near future.
