Hi, @mlg2733 - I'd imagine your nephew's experience having a hemorrhagic stroke on a vacation in Bora Bora has been a huge surprise and a truly challenging turn of events.
I tagged, or mentioned, the Mayo Clinic Connect members you inquired about with their usernames so they're aware of your question about hyperbaric oxygen and whether that therapy can be useful following a stroke or any other condition.
Others on Mayo Clinic Connect who've talked about hemorrhagic stroke and may have thoughts on the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to boost recovery include @zerodas @raye @ken82 @jessica79.
mlg2733—You mentioned your nephew has done virtual speech therapy and has a trainer coming to his home. Are you looking into hyperbaric oxygen therapy to improve the use of his left arm and hand, and to help with the left neglect/hemispatial neglect? What are your nephew's thoughts about talking to his physiatrist about this therapy and whether it can be approved?

Hi, Lisa. Is there something that has a summary of how to use this tool? I've been retired for 8 years and not as good online as I use to be.
I read that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help with his arm & hand and several other things. I was hoping that people who read this area of the Mayo blog would be able to give me & my nephew input on areas on what may be out there that my nephew could try while he is working with a trainer and getting speech therapy. His vocal chords were damaged while he was in Tahiti. He's made great progress. Honestly his progress is nothing short of a miracle.
