In Search of a Treatment

There are many more photos to this story but I cut it down to what you see here. The project started 5 years ago where Brooke was in the Hyperbaric Chamber to her receiving a stem cell treatment and her ability to walk and talk.
An extremely rare condition caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation when Brooke was still a fetus is why the 9-year-old can't function like a normal child her age, and her parents and family are ready to go the extra mile.
In the first photo Brooke is in a portable hyperbaric oxygen chamber where Brooke and her mom spend time to flood the body with oxygen to stimulate its natural ability to heal.
Brook's mom, Vicki, places an oxygen hood over Brooke so she receives the full amount of oxygen.
Looking into her brown eyes and you see mind is active she just doesn't have the ability to act on it.
With her walker Brooke is starting to walk around the house.
Brooke walks everywhere her walker will go with great speed
Over time Brooke is able to stand on her own for a little while, This is a great advancement from a few years ago.
In her mothers arms Brooks looks into the camera as her mom give her daughter a kiss.
