Oxygen Therapy Offers New Hope for Medically Challenged
Patients
Connor Barrett was not given much hope when
he was born. Autistic, blind and deaf with orthopedic, neurological, digestive,
and respiratory disorders his parents were advised that he would live out his
life in an institution for the severely disabled. His doctors did not know how wrong they were.
Instead of searching for an institution his
parents sought help through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment
in which the patient breathes 100% pure oxygen under a pressure greater than
normal. The results for Connor were
nothing short of miraculous.
“Connor started receiving Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy at Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics in San Bernardino when he was almost
three years old.” States his mother
Peggy Barrett. “Prior to Hyperbarics, he
was unable to do anything other than squirm around on his back. He could not see or hear and had minimal
interaction with anyone. After three
treatments he began to follow objects with his eyes and actually held his own
bottle. He continued to progress and
after forty treatments starting walking with a walker and feeding himself with
a spoon. He is now four years old and
attends pre-school where he colors, uses scissors, does puzzles, rides a
tricycle and interacts with his classmates.
His vision has improved to the point that he now wears glasses and can
see almost 100%. He loves to play the
piano and is a joyful addition to our family.”
“I am truly pleased with
Connor’s overall progress”, says his pediatrician, “He can now see, hear and
walk. His growth has improved
tremendously placing him in the fifty percentile on the growth charts for the
first time since his birth.”
Dr. Donald Underwood, D.O., M.D.J.D., M.P.H., is the Medical
Director at Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics.
“The results I have witnessed for some of these patients are truly
amazing. Some of them now have the
ability to see, hear and walk. For most
there is a definite improvement in their quality of life.”
Susan and Patrick Rodriguez,C.H.T., E.M.T., D.M.T., are the
owners of Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics.
“We are so happy to have helped so many families over the past ten
years.” Susan adds, “Being the mother of
three children who have benefited greatly from Hyperbarics, I know first hand
how Hyperbarics can change a persons life.
My children are the reason that I got started and continue in Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy.”
Peggy Barrett feels the same. She explains, “Due to my son’s miraculous
recovery I have now devoted my career to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. I attended classes, completed an internship
and passed the National Board Examination for Certified Hyperbaric Oxygen
Technologists. Because Susan and
Hyperbarics have given so much to my family, I felt it was only right to give
this opportunity to other families in need of hope.” She now works at Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics
as a Certified Hyperbaric Technologist.
