Due to the complication of being without oxygen during delivery, Jackson was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Doctors informed our families that the damage to Jackson's brain was permanent and would never improve.

Ten months ago, I was diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) in my right ear after a series of bad colds. Unfortunately this diagnosis was made very late - nearly two months after the initial auditory loss. My primary-care doctor missed the original diagnosis. so when I finally went to an ENT, he was frustrated and concerned - because early treatment improves the ultimate prognosis.
So my ENT immediately put me on oral steroids, a diuretic, and a course of intratympanic (through-the-eardrum) steroid injections. After this multi-mode treatment, most people who are going to get any hearing recovery do so within one or two weeks. However, my audiogram two weeks out was strange - with two modes of hearing loss apparent - and showed I had almost no recovery with none at the key 6,000-to-9,000-Hz range of frequencies where my SSHL was severe.
The prognosis in people like me who show such little progress is very bleak. At this point I was so desperate that I'd read online about European lines of treatment for SSHL, and decided I would pursue them. One such treatment is hyperbaric-oxygen therapy. While many places in the greater-Cleveland area and Ohio have hyperbaric-oxygen chambers to serve burn victims, none would allow me to receive treatment due to insurance limitations - save for Sara's Garden.
After my ENT cleared treatment and Sara's Garden put me through a series of tests, I went to Wauseon, Ohio and stayed for a week of chamber "dives" at their facility. At the following audiogram with my ENT in mid-April (about 9 days after my final session at Sara's Garden) I had almost full hearing recovery. My ENT was surprised at my hearing's response to the treatment and postulates that my inner ear benefitted from the hyperbaric-oxygen therapy both mechanically (from the pressure that alleviated hydrops I had) and neurological (to help nerves and membranes begin healing).
Even now when I think of Sara's Garden and the little town of Wauseon, I am moved by how much I owe them. Words fail to describe my profound feelings of thanks to Sara's Garden.
