Yes the problem is brain damage - cerebral palsy and PVL. She has high muscle tone which makes her stand up on her tip toes if it is not managed with botox injections and hyperbaric oxygen treatments (when financially able.)

great success! keep it going little baby!

@sirzahur - Also Positive stimulation. Play lots of music of different styles. See what your child responds to.

Do what is called "patterning". You can pick up your child and teach the child movements by repeating the movements many times, moving their limbs. This effect has been successful with severely brain damaged adults also. But, it takes hundreds of repetitions, over and over again.

There are likely to be permanent limits. But do your best to awaken what you can. Best to you dear.

@sirzahur - You should understand also that putting a toddler in a pressure chamber will hurt them. Their ears will cause them pain.

You can talk to a physician about trying hydergine. For a child that size approximately 1 - 2 mg/day is probable.

You can talk to a physician about trying piracetam at 2000 to 4000 mg per day for a child that size. Piracetam has lower toxicity than table salt. Together these stimulate nerve growth in the brain, and so does oxygen.

@sirzahur - Continued.

Cannula table only goes to 4 LPM because above that it causes irritation of the nasopharynx.

With a properly fitted mask on an oxygen concentrator use:

6 LPM to 10 LPM between 35% and 60% oxygen.

The range is because masks don't all fit well. And if low is low relative to breathing rate outside air will be sucked in.

So, you need to calculate what oxygen level will be. Without chamber, 60% oxygen is higher than the partial pressure probably is without mask in one.

@sirzahur Oxygen can help. But understand how to calculate partial pressure. Mean sea level pressure is 14.7 PSI. Mild hyperbaric chambers give +4 PSI. 18.7/14.7 = 1.27 (Approx 1.3 atmospheres or ATA).

Take the percentage of oxygen in the air and multiply it by the ATA to get partial pressure of O2, which is what the body will respond to.

O2 concentrators use liters per minute (LPM).

With cannula in nose use this table:

1 LPM 25%

2 LPM 29%

3 LPM 33%

4 LPM 37%

My son has a permanent brain damage during the birth process and he cant see / walk or talk -- but can eat and can cry . Just lying on the bed and only involuntary movements .

His age is about 2 years now . Can you please help me in this case ? Or any one knows please pass this to me

[nemr960]
