The daughter of one of our neighbors here in the Houston area nearly drowned over a month ago, and they are planning to move her to New Orleans for Hyperbaric therapy at LSU Health School of Medicine. They consider the doctor there to be the best in the world for these treatments.

The family is asking for support -- a place to stay in New Orleans for a few months, among other things. Here's a portion of a post from their Facebook page:

"We are now working on the logistics of moving Tati to New Orleans for treatment which should last about 2 months.

We need to find a place to stay in New Orleans for 2 months that will not break the bank...anyone know anyone with a spare room or two?

We need to figure out transportation. She may have to be moved by ambulance, possibly by car or by air. If we are allowed to take her by car, then we'll need to trade in one of our cars for a mini van.

We also need to find an inpatient rehab facility that will allow Tati to leave for 2-3 hours every day for HBOT. If not, we may have to opt for an outpatient facility...this may be a good choice anyway since the HBOT clinic only recommends PT/OT twice a week in order for Tati to be well rested for her HBOT treatments.

We will probably also need to find a part time nurse to come by daily for a couple of hours to help us take care of Tati's medical needs...especially when only one of us is there with her. All of this is quite overwhelming and scary, but we'll take it one day at a time and with God's guidance."

Let's show our support for this family during a difficult time.
