It is a perscription for a medical procedure that uses 100% oxygen
from a tank.... There are units that will convert room air into
condensed oxygen but it't far from 100%. Most of these units are
soft chambers and only go to about 1.3ATA (Julia goes to 1.5 which is
low for a hard chamber). You can rent a soft chamber and not need a
perscription to get one. Honestly I don't know why oxygen is
considered a drug but, I can understand the reasons. 100% tanked
oxygen is flamable, it is not naturally occuring (100% oxygen that
is). I know there's more but, it's late and I am not thinking
clearly.
On another hand Julia is doing GREAT she typically has 10 minute
seizures and today most were seconds long and her longest was a
whipping 3 minutes and 30 minutes later she had a 1 minute. I think
total today she had 5 seizures. You have to understand that in July
Julia was having seizures that were as long as 75 minutes. We had to
be choosie with the seizures because we could have used diastat
everyday but,we tried to restrain to once a week. Julia's PT came on
Monday and was so shocked by Julia she said Julia is a totally
different kid than she was 3 weeks ago. I am so excited about HBOT I
will keep you all posted.
