• Chris has yogurt successfully for the first time
June 2006 (14 months):
• Chris’ drinking and yogurt eating improving
• Chris spasticity worsening
• Marine Phytoplankton started (40 mls 4x week)
July 2006 (15 months):
• Soft solids being successfully introduced (mashed potatoes, French fries, avocado, chicken soup, mashed carrots, sausage, pizza)
• Cod Liver Oil started (10 mls 4x week)
August 2006 (16 months):
• Chris starts on glyconutrients: Ambrotose
• Chris laughs on occasions
• Chris’ ability to open his mouth and chew is visibly improved
September 2006 (17 months)
• Chris is eating well, quantity-wise and in how he maneuvers the food inside his mouth: bite getting stronger
October 2006 (18 months)
• Chris starts on Chinese herbs (once a week, 20 ml)
• Chris is able to have full course meals now, eats better and faster
• Chris starts HBOT therapy

Hello, my name is jennifer thaxton.I have custody of my 10 year old brother. Last summer he almost drown. Its great to read about other people who have been in a simular situation and all of the great progress ive read is very encourageing.But its also very depressing to know our child hasnt accieved any of the things many others have. Aaron is seven months out and prognosis is poor. But we look everyday for new things to go on.His newest function is getting mad when we wipe his nose he kicks his legs and turns away. Aaron hated his face wiped before his accident. The doctors said he wouldnt live 72 hours and he did ,they said he would be in coma forever , he came out , they said he couldnt inniate a breath , he can ,he is off the vent,and has wake and sleep cycles. He sleeps all night unless there is a problem ,illness ect. Aaron has great insurance but the therapy company decided not to do any more therapy so its left up to me and my husband. we have 4 other kids in the house and its alot on us but we do our best. The inpatient therapy place says he is not responsive enough to be admitted. So thats about where we are at if you have any suggestions please email us ..........thanks jennifer thaxton email- Thaxtonfamily1@aol.com
