Leaving for a month for HBOT

So we are headed for an adventure to NC! We will be gone for one month to try hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT) It will be done twice a day for 6 days a week! We are excited to go and can't wait to see the results! I actually know someone that has gone through it already and will be back when we are there. I have actually known this person a fellow micro preemie mom from way back when I was on a forum for pregnant with twins. We both lost one of our sons and our surviving sons are very similar in aspects to their CP. I believe her son was a 23 weeker and Jonathan is a 25 weeker and they were born a week apart! Well she seen a difference in her son and thats why they are going back. So we looked into doing this last summer because there is a treatment center only 5 miles from us! However they do more geriatrics then children and since this is our first time I wanted LOTS of experience for Jonathan! This place we are going is all about children so like I said we are excited! I will try and post as much as possible while we are there to update everyone! Please keep us in your prayers!

So jealous! Wish we were going for HBOT!

Carver's head control isn't what it appears in the pictures. I work really hard to get a picture with his head up. Typically, he is slumped over chewing on the handle bars.

good luck. fletcher did a round of HBOT in January/Feb of this year, just been too lazy to blog about it. luckily, it is the one of the few "alternative" therapies available locally. will be thinking of you and hoping for amazing results!
