Jess seems to be different every day. We wonder so often what he is thinking or where he is at. We fear he knows what is going on and is frustrated because he cannot move his body or talk. And there is nothing we can do but help keep his body strong and flexible with therapies.
I have been researching Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It is what they use for treating the bends in deep sea diving. It increases the oxygen to the brain to restore neurons damaged in the injury. Here is a website explaining it: http://hbotnm.com/about.html. Of course it is not covered by insurance for brain injuries (not enough double blind studies) and it would be very expensive for us to travel, find a place to stay, and still keep up on his therapies for 2 months. They recommend 1 hour a day ( an hour) for 40 days (Monday thru Friday) with a 4 week break and then again for 40 more days. There are two places I have looked at...one in New Mexico and one in Florida. If it would help...no time or money would matter. But, like everything else we are looking at...there are no guarantees. It is still up to God and Jess.
