Open Letter:

Brie told me that your stepdaughter was in an accident & has a head injury. I'm not sure of the details but I am anxious to tell you what happened to me ten years ago if it will help. I was declared brain dead. I had massive head injury, collapsed lungs, paralized on my left side. I was paralized for only 10 days but I had to learn how to walk & talk. I was in the hospital & rehab for 3 months. I had the hyperbarics within 2 weeks. They were not going to allow the hyperbarics until Dr. Owen insisted & fought them on it. It was only used for wound healing, diabetic patients, in the US. Europe used it for brain injury patients with great results. He had to make them aware of this & he finally won the fight. I believe I dove initially every other day. I believe this is what saved me.

Think good thoughts always, Karen Riemann
