,

HBOT definitely increases the appetite and we have seen unusual weight gains

during hbot. Since the problems may be hypoxial and neurological related

and probably are, it would be very logical to think it may help. One thing

is certain, with your child's diagnosis the effect hbot would have in all

areas would be a strong reason for giving it a try. Many times a G-tube

alone does not improve the problem.

dear , reading about your Isabella was like me telling my Isabella's story

.. exactly the same , hypoxia at birth , N-G tube the first two months of her

life ,she was ok cognitively but was really hurt physically . she failed to put

on weight and doctors wanted to put a GT for her . We decided against it because

she could eat by mouth but not very easy , but we wanted to keep trying . at the

age of six i knew of HBO and it helped her a lot , she was more relaxed , able

to eat better , swallow better , and i guess absorb better , she started to put

on weight , had better health . i believe HBO helped boost her immune system and

her metabolism .

don't go for the g-tube , i have friends whose child had a g- tube and still

vomited and now she is trying hard to wining him of it .

HBO will definitely help your daughter , i believe if HBO was available for our

girls at birth directly after their hypoxia , they wouldn't be struggling now

..

you said :

I am

sure this is not helping her developmental progress and is probably

one of the main reasons none of her major milestones have been reached.

I am sure being underweight weakened your body , but it is not why she couldn't

reach her major milestones . her weight problem and her failing to do what she

is suppose to do at her age is the results of her brain injury . HBO will help

heal her injured brain which would have a positive effect on her development .

Subject: [MedicaidforHDOT] Weight gain problems. Can HBOT correct?

Hi everyone,

I have a 14 month old daughter who is struggling to gain weight. She

is only 16 and 1/2 pounds. Her birth weight was 10 pounds, 3 ounces.

So she is obviously not gaining very well. She eats rather well and

has a pretty good appetite, but sometimes a lot of her food is

vomited. She is on prevacid but that is not helping like it used to.

Her doctor wants a G-tube put in but I don't think that will solve

the problem. Bella was on a NG tube for a while (her first four

months of life) and when she had to throw up, she still did.

Does HBOT ever help kids to grow??? Or does it help with GERD

(reflux)? I am desperate because she needs to start growing. I am

sure this is not helping her developmental progress and is probably

one of the main reasons none of her major milestones have been reached.

Oh, she suffered a HIE (hypoxia) at birth and also has cerebral palsy.

Her mental/cognitive seems to be okay, but her motor area (basal

ganglia) in her brain was hit hard by the lack of oxygen.

Also, does anyone know about HBOT in Ohio that is medicaid covered?

Has anyone been successful in getting their private insurance

companies to cover these treatments?? We have medicaid and Medical Mutual.

Thanks for your help!!!
