Hbot day 2

Today will be our first full day which means 2 "dives". We go at 8 am and 1pm.
This morning we had quite the range of people in the chamber .I enjoy hearing people's stories and their improvements. But today was a little bit sad. One boy who is 6 , like Christian, and has brain damage(like c does) but unlike Christian he was born healthy. He's damage was due to abuse at the age of 3. His grandma took custody of him and works tirelessly to get him help. He was not supposed to live but is obviously thriving. Such a sad situation but also beauty from the love of his grandma.
Another guy was 82 and just a gentle spirit. He kept saying Hi and waving at C. He is also friends with john q hammons! whaaaat? this guy is a builder...apparently builds major structures.
The other lady is about 36 and had 2 strokes 5 years ago. This is her first time to do hyperbarics and intense therapy. She is from St. Louis and has 2 kids. It's very hard for her to be away from them. Her mom is here helping her. She's so determined to walk without her cane..i think she will get there.

The common thing is family stepping in to help whenever it is needed and at whatever cost.
