August 13, 2009 - HBOT is Going Well . . .

Hello Everyone! Well, things are moving right along for Erik. He had 1 treatment on Monday and Tuesday and then 2 treatments yesterday and today. All went well and we are learning things to do to help him with the pressure. It is like going to the mountains or flying in an airplane in that your ears close up. Erik will bite down on something or take a sip of water which releases pressure and so far, so good. The staff at the center is really nice and we have felt safe and comfortable in their hands. It has been a learning experience for us and one we hope to be able to share with many other families. Be sure to look at the photo we took today of Erik before his treatment. He is NOT in pain . . . he is actually quite the opposite in this photo! He was loudly vocalizing and engaged his whole body in the excitement (this is why his leg appears to be propped up!). Keep us in your prayers. The enemy continues to press on us as today Erik experienced a brief seizure before entering the chamber. He came out of it quickly and we proceeded with the treatment once he recovered. We continue to trust that this is the direction God has lead us and appreciate your continued prayers and support. Love in Christ, Erik's Family "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him." Psalms 2:12 NKJV
