Rylan's Recovery

Donation protected
When only 2 years old, Rylan suffered a near drowning and had an estimated 45 minutes of CPR.  He had extensive brain damage due to lack of oxygen for an unknown amount of time. Doctors were unable to tell what functions he would regain and his diagnosis was pretty grim. However, at each follow up appointment, Rylan amazed doctors at his recovery. He is very cognitive and can laugh, smile, watch his favorite T.V. shows, is gaining better head and torso control. If you tell him the toy is red when it is in fact blue, he laughs because he knows you are teasing. He tries to get out of his chair, he raises his arms up for hugs an he gives kisses. He has healed so much when doctors did not even know if he would breath on his own, let alone laugh again!

 A recent medical breakthrough called Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments can help Rylan have a much better healing process and can actually help his brain to heal from the injury . This is the only therapy in the history of medicine shown to improve brain function, it stimulates new micro-vasculature into the injured brain tissue.These treatments work well in young children because their brains are still growing and developing, but the sooner he can have it done, the better the results!

A little girl Rylan's age with similar circumstances had a remarkable recovery with these treatments. Visit this page for Eden Carlson's amazing story! Eden regained speech, walking and eating with Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments. http://www.wdsu.com/article/treatment-reversing-brain-damage-weeks-after-toddler-nearly-drowned/10325940

Rylan's injury happened while his father neglected to watch closely during his parenting time. Now Rylan's mother bears the financial burden and extra cost for Rylan's needed care. Unfortunately, Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments are not covered by insurance.

Rylan's only obstacle is funding for Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments.If you just give a little and then spread the word, you can be part of his healing journey and make a difference in his life. 

Would you help make this possible for Rylan? If everyone could give and pass along his story to the next person, it would be possible for this little guy who has been through so much.
