Thursday, February 7th








These are pictures from Calvin and Gosia's time at HBOT -- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy-- in about August of last year, when we first got back here.

The purpose of the treatment was to stimulate Calvin's brain by exposing it to a higher concentration of oxygen, thereby getting the inactive areas to take over for the dead areas.

We think that it has helped him, and he's had about 90 treatments.

And at the bottom is a picture of Doctor Niu, one of the world's leading specialists on how to use HBOT to treat not just burns but also brain injuries. Right here in Tainan!

Calvin was the first baby they'd ever had, and I think there are a couple papers on him floating out there...
