Over the last 5 years my dad, Michael Stuecken, has experienced a decline in his memory, cognitive and physical abilities. After many tests, physicians visits and medications we were officially told this year that he has early onset dementia and we should start planning for his future care. As difficult as it is to hear that news, we could not go down without a fight.

New research shows that the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers can slow the progression and even potentially reverse the effects of dementia and traumatic brain injuries (which is helpful because there is no family history of this which means it is potentially a result of a old brain injury).

Unfortunately this treatment is very expensive and we have a long road of expenses ahead of us. We are hopeful that some of our family and friends would contribute to the cost of his dementia care to give him the best chance at a normal happy life. We appreciate you all so much!!
