Natasha
Pruitt:
Brain
Injury, Cerebral Palsy & Encephalopathy
- nMeet
8-year old Natasha Pruitt. She was born with a severe brain deformity
that caused her to have cerebral palsy and encephalopathy. She weighed
23 lbs. before beginning hyperbaric therapy.
- nAfter
one year of treatments, Natasha has gained more weight than she ever has
in any other time in her life. She now weighs 28 lbs!
- nBecause
of her condition Natasha had circulation problems that caused her feet
to remain purple and cold constantly. Now her feet are pink and healthy!
She has even taken her first 8 steps in life!
- nNatasha
has gone from having seizures every day for 20-25 minutes, after which
she immediately went to sleep, to 2-3 seizures a week lasting only 1-6
minutes in length, after which she remains alert. (UPDATE: Natasha
has almost completely stopped having seizures!)
- nNatasha
has also begun sitting upright, Indian-style. She was never able to sit
before mHBOT, without propping on one hand.
- nNatasha
has gone from being completely non-verbal to giggles, squeals and other
noises. She can make eye contact and looks at people and objects now.
