Connor

3 years old Autism, Hypoplasia, Visually and Hearing delayed

Dear :

Thank God for the work that you and do for our kids! For those of

you that do not know our story here goes.

Our son Connor was born October 16, 1998. At birth he had respiratory

distress and was in NICU for a week.

The following are some of his diagnoses:

1. Visually and hearing impairment.

2. Developmental delay.

3. Sleep disorder. (Often sleeping only four out of twenty-four hours.)

4. Autism.

5. Hypoplasia (underdevelopment) of the white matter of his brain.

6. Multiple orthopedic malformations.

7. Chronic constipation requiring 1 or 2 enemas per week.

8. Tactile defensiveness. (doesn't like to be held or touched).

We found and began Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments on 4-24-01 against the

suggestions of many of Connor's doctors. He has seen almost 38 doctors and

most of them felt that Hyperbarics was a waste of time and money. This is

due to their inexperience with the field. They could not have been MORE

WRONG!

**After his very first treatment he ate 16 ounces of food. (his usual

amount up to that time was 4 ounces per meal). He also slept 10 hours!

This was the first time he had slept through the night in his life without

drugs. It is now common for him to sleep through the night.

**He now has regular bowel movements and has not required a single enema

since

the completion of his treatments.

**He held his own bottle after only the third treatment and continues to

hold

it now. He is learning to self feed and holds his own spoon.

**He is much happier and actually enjoys being held. He interacts with

everyone in the family including his 6 year-old sister.

**He now says " Momma " , " Dada " and of course every two year-old's favorite,

" No! " .

**He can now walk with a walker and has even taken a few steps on his own.

His

physical therapist is thrilled at his progress.

**His vision and hearing have both improved dramatically.

**He has grown four inches in height in the last six month.

We realize that we still have much work ahead of us and plan on resuming our

Hyperbaric treatments next month. But the improvements in Connor (and to

our family) have been nothing short of a miracle) Thank you so much

and for making us a part of your Hyperbaric " Family " . Sincerely,

Peggy and Gregg Barrett
