Has Max been followed by a physician throughout the time he's been doing hyperbaric oxygen? Does the MD have experience with HBOT? Have you kept records of his treatments? Do you know how many treatments he's received? What has been his pressure protocol? Have you taken breaks? How often and for how long? I know these are a lot of questions, but if there's a way to share Max's experience(s) with others, this sort of tragedy can be avoided in the future.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi Everyone, I have received quite a response for our Sechrist. I hope no one minds but I am going to post a general email to all of you have inquired instead of contacting each of you. If you are still interested by all means I will be happy to speak with you. year:1981 cycles: 4692 PVHO# 2500B57 (I think, it doesn't say PVHO, but it's the only number I see) Inspected fall of 05 Price: $52,000 Obviously we have the evaporators, etc. I feel I need to explain the price. We are not trying to make money. When we bought the chamber we took out a 2nd mortgage on our home to pay for the chamber and to build an addition on our home for the chamber. We are still in debt from this decision. We need to be able to pay this off and would not make a dollar more. This has been a great stress the past few years but we would do it all over again, in a heartbeat. We are willing to negotiate but hope you can understand our perspective. Not to mention, we bought it from Reimers, not a discount dealer. The chamber has run great for us all along. The acrylic is in very good condition. I truly hope this chamber goes to someone who is involved in HBOT to with a passion to help people and children like Max. Thanks for your interest. melanie rockrohr <mmr408@...> wrote: Hi there, I have not posted in a couple of years. Our son is Max Rockrohr, 5 years old.

I have no doubt HBOT gave us our Max. He could smile and laugh with such joy. He knew we were his parents and knew his siblings, etc. On May 1 he had a grand mal that could not be stopped. It lasted over 2 hours and destroyed what little bit was left of his brain. He is home now under hospice care. They say he is terminal because there is so little function left. He does not smile anymore. He just exists right now. We don't feel in our hearts that HBOT is for him right now. It took us 3 years to get Max as good as he was, we just can't go through that again, starting from Day one. So we are considering selling the chamber if anyone is interested. It has worked great for him and I would do it all over again. If you can put a Sechrist in your home it is well worth it. This is not a portable.. Or maybe someone knows of a clinic that needs one.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi and all, PVHO went into effect around 1978. However, Sechrist continued to build their chambers without the PVHO stamp on it until about 1983. The chamber you have was built in that time period. It is basically grandfathered (and there are still quite a few chambers from that time period out there, including in hospital use). Therefore, you will not be able to find any mention of PVHO on the manufacturer's plate. Just my 2 cents, Sunny > > In a message dated 9/6/07 9:27:51 PM, mmr408@... writes: > > > PVHO# 2500B57 > > > > The number 2500B57 is the Sechrist serial number. > > ************************************** > Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at > http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
