After 1 Month...

After 1 month of HBOT treatments for Ellie, there HAVE been minimal signs of improvement.  Her hands are open more often and not as tight when they are closed.  She tends to have better use of her right arm than before when she clearly favored the left one.  Perhaps her eye contact and powers of observation are a bit better.  The doctor also believes her right leg has better movement and that her tone is generally better. 

We thank God for providing for this first round of treatments, and we trust that He will provide for us to continue a second and third round after a mandatory one-month break.  During this break, we will stay with my parents in Mobile, AL and pursue physical therapy, social security and medicaid benefits, help from some non-profits in getting assistive devices for Ellie, getting her visa situation (for Greece) worked out, and speaking at different churches about the ministry.

A physical therapist in New Orleans has loaned us a "stander" for Ellie to use while we are here, and we are very grateful for that.

Vicki has "stolen" some frequent flier miles from one of our kids and will be visiting me and Ellie for a couple of weeks!!  Needless-to-say, we are both really looking forward to that!
