September 2, 2009 - Almost done!

Hello all! Can you believe it? Treatment here in Charlotte is almost complete! Erik is doing okay but we are ready to get home. Mostly because his seizure activity has increased during treatment and we want to get home and get settled. We plan for Erik to return to school on September 14th. This will give him a little time to get closer to his baseline before entering the stimulating world of school. Pray for the next few weeks to go well for him and pray for safe travel for us on Friday. We have been researching results from treatment and it appears that many patients experience changes in the 4-6 weeks post completion of therapy. Keep Erik in your prayers and we will share progress with you as we continue down this path of healing. We have met some wonderful people here - HBOT staff, nurses, neighbors - again, God has filled this challenging time with unexpected rewards! Just think about the people we have met (especially the nurses) who have learned about HBOT and can share it with the numerous patients they will encounter! God's purposes for this trip reach further than we planned! Thanks for all of your prayers and support! Erik's Family
