Other Notes: Christian's mom, Tanya, writes, "Christian is our only son and the light in our lives. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 although he had always been very quiet and to himself. He has such a hilarious personality and he is such a character! Through therapy at school, he has really started to come out of his shell and we just KNOW with HBOT, he'll have a much stronger chance at living a "normal" life. I have always whispered, "Do you know I love you?" in his ear and am just waiting for him to verbally tell me, "Yes, and I love you too, Mama." We are fortunate enough that he is very lovable and affectionate, and can't wait to hear it in words as well. Mother's Day 2009 I heard him call me "Mama" for the first and only time. It was one of the best days of my life. I'm excited with the anticipation of what comes next in his progress.

I heard about Lend4Health from a wonderful woman who is an Autism Advocate by the name of Jana Troutt. During a time when I felt very alone dealing with Autism, Jana reached out with such a caring hand to let me know that everything was going to be ok, and that I am definitely NOT alone."
