HBOT...DAY 2 & 3


Day 2- 6/8 - 5PM for 50 minutes w/Bill

Recap of Day 2 w/ Bill yesterday - 50 minutes in the chamber
First, we didn't notice a difference with her sleeping the night after her first treatment and we didn't notice any sleep pattern changes last night after the second dive. We do feel like she was more talkative yesterday after her dive. She also seemed to be in a better mood and more alert. It was still difficult to get her in the chamber yesterday, there were a few tears, but better than day 1.

Day 3 -6/9 - 3:35PM for 55 minutes w/me

First, a huge success today...no tears!! She actually told me that we were going to get in the 'sub' (HBOT chamber) together today after I got up from my nap. When I got up, I asked her and she willingly climbed in there with me The best part is that she didn't freak out, didn't cry and made it with minimal ear discomfort for this dive. Then we made it for a full 55 minutes, victory! I don't feel like I saw any changes in her talking today, but to be fair she went and played with a friend in her room after the dive. Her appetite was the same but we did see a little arm flapping post dive. This could be just her or it could a post dive reaction. I know I've read that some children have symptoms like hyperactivity due to yeast or fungal die off. Tomorrow day 4 and then we can do 2 dives a day Saturday and Sunday. More updates will be coming...

** VERY IMPORTANT**
You must be taking fish oils while doing HBOT treatments. I have been exhausted this week, mono like exhausted and couldn't figure out why. I called our doctor who said it is imperative that you take fish oils while diving. Why? Your body is detoxing and must have the fish oils to do its job. I took 6 of them today (high dose because of being so depleted) and already feel like myself again. Side note: Aleks was already on a high dose so she has been fine.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST!!!!! I starting diving with my son and he is hyper bouncing off the walls.. I on the other hand was telling my husband I was so lethargic, maybe I should get tested for lymes of something. I haven't been this tired since pregnancy!! Funny how we take care of our kids health so much, prepping supplements a few times a day, and we put ourselves on the back burner. I just ran over to the fridge and downed some fish oils!! LOL
