End of week one

Cooper has now completed his first week of Hyperbaric Oxygenation therary at HyperMED in Melbourne. We have been really pleased with how relaxed Cooper has been in his sessions within the Hyperbaric chamber. This week he has completed 23 hours in the chamber which is a massive effort.

Today Cooper also had his first session on the Lokomat. Cooper was loaded into the harness and underwent the therapy with little fuss. Dr Hooper advised us that in their first session many children will only last a short period while they become accustomed to the therapy. Cooper lasted over 52 minutes which we were all wrapped with. We are looking forward to incorporating Lokomat therapy daily from now on. Below is a little video of Cooper's Lokomat session today.


Cooper's Dad and brother arrived today much to Cooper's delight. They are looking forward to the next few weeks and continuing with Cooper's treatment.


Thanks again for all of your support. Please forward the details of the blog onto anyone you think may be interested in following Cooper's story.

With love
The Pulinis
