Sada went on her first "dive" today... and took Daddy along as her official buddy. Our friends have an amazing clinic in Provo called the Now I Can Physical Therapy Center at www.nowican.org with some very unique therapies and techniques that work very VERY well. One of those is a hyperbaric chamber that helps to oxygenate the body, speeding healing for tissue and nerves. The pressurized oxygen helps decrease swelling in the brain and push extra oxygen into the hypoxic (O2 deprived) areas.
So, she crawled into the chamber and Jeff squeezed in beside her, the tech filled it up and they watched a movie for an hour while they were magically lowered 10' below sea level without having to leave Happy Valley. Sada will be playing diver twice a day for about the next two weeks. By the time this is over, she's going to be an expert at equalizing her ears before she ever gets scuba certified! (Jeff might have to take in a tank or two just to get his nitrogen fix.)
