Adventures in HBOT...dives 1 & 2


Dive one was on Tuesday. 45 minutes of full pressure, no oxygen. Nate did great. He was super excited to get in it and acted liek he was playing in a tent. He gets to have a binky to help with his ears (sucking) and he is allowed to bring in his dvd player to watch Backyardigans and Wiggles. Aaron did ok too and was able to handle the ear pressure fairly well.

Dive 2 was on Wednesday. 1 hour of full pressure, no oxygen. Once again, Nate did great. He is really eager to get in his rocket ship which makes it SO much easier than the battle we had envisioned. Nate held his ears and put his head down a few times on the way "up", but after that seemed fine. I went in this time with him and had no problems except my ears kept popping all night (which is extremely annoying).

Overall, dives one and two a success. Tolerance was perfect . No positive side effects, but no negative side effects either. We'll take it. :) Looking forward to today's dive....
