It was Feb 28, 2018, that changed their lives forever. Their precious 3-year-old Robert suffered a non-fatal drowning. After an hour of CPR by his oldest sister, his grandmother, Willis PD and EMS they got a heartbeat back. The Road to Recovery began.

"In our experience, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the most powerful tool for combating hypoxic/anoxic brain injury from drowning"

In this case, if you do not know or haven't heard about Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It's a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a hazard of scuba diving. Other conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections, bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that won't heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury. - There is just one part I believe that they leave out as Will explained that this treatment is not recognized as a method of treatment for non-fatal drowning victims by most people in the medical community. Again listen to this episode to hear Will explain this.

To learn more about hyperbaric oxygen therapy Will has HBOT Research on their website with links to valuable information https://drownedbaby.org/hbot-research/
