Miguel's Success Story
"I would like to thank the hospital for taking good care of me and bringing me back to life."
After admitting to Kindred with respiratory failure, Miguel was successfully weaned from the ventilator and regained his mobility.
A Patient Success Story From Kindred Hospital Westminster
Miguel, 42, was found unresponsive and admitted to Saddleback Hospital for pneumonia and respiratory failure. He was intubated and then a trach was placed to help him breathe. Once stabilized, the decision was made to transfer him to Kindred Hospital Westminster.
Upon admission, Miguel was completely dependent and required full assistance and was fed through a gastric tube. His family from Mexico were worried he would not make it, but our respiratory, nursing and rehabilitation teams worked hard to provide excellent care. Miguel began slowly progressing and was successfully weaned from the ventilator, regained his mobility, began feeding himself independently again, and could perform activities of daily life. His family was so thankful!
He met and exceeded all the goals set in his care plan and was successfully discharged home to continue his recovery.
