I have written before on special needs and parenting. As one of my children is a special needs child, I am always looking for special needs and education information.
I have come across a relatively new treatment we are in the process of using to treat Ali’s condition. It is called: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
It is similar to hyperbaric chambers that divers use. With this treatment, the child is in a hyperbaric chamber compressed with 100% oxygen for 1 hour with 15-minute compression and decompression intervals. This therapy has helped many other children as well as adults in the treatment of many conditions.
We are currently using this therapy for an initial 4 weeks. After the 4 weeks, we will check for improvements in her condition and see if more therapy will be needed.
We do hope this is the answer we have been looking for. I will update this blog with the progress and more posts on the hyperbaric process as well.
If anyone out there has any experience with this treatment, I would love to hear from you.
