The next thing people started commenting on was she was much more alert. Jessi never used to take a whole lot of notice of things around her but now she will sit on my knee and really look around with interest at things. I really first noticed it at a friends house one night (after 44 hours treatment). We were all sitting around the table and Jessi was sitting with me moving her head, looking from person to person and studying them one by one quite intently. She will also turn her head to sounds now much more than she ever has before, where once a loud sound would make her jump and close up her eyes she will now usually turn her head in the direction of the sound to see what it was. About a week after treatment finished we were at my sisters house, who was having the place renovated, and I watched Jessi, who was being held by Craig, looking at the guy doing the plastering. She was watching the way he put the putty on the trowel, then followed it up to the roof and watched it as it went back and forth along the joins and then followed it back down and continued to watch while he put more putty on and so on, this held her attention for quite some time as she watched with wonder on her face as if thinking about what he was doing and what the point of it all was! She would never have held her attention for that long before. In fact her concentration prior to HBOT was fairly average, she would get her eyes onto something and it wasn’t long before they would drift away and whatever she was looking at would be forgotten straight away. Her concentration and interest in things has increased 10-fold. She now notices people usually straight away - there was a time when she didn’t really take notice of anyone much unless they were right in her face.
