Neil was diagnosed with liver failure following severe alcohol intoxication. Once Neil's condition was stable, the medical team made the critical decision to transfer him to Kindred Hospital for specialized care and ventilator weaning.
Upon admission to Kindred, the respiratory therapy team initiated a weaning protocol designed to gradually reduce Neil's dependence on the ventilator. Meanwhile, his physical therapy team developed a rehabilitation program aimed at restoring strength and mobility and his occupational therapists helped him relearn essential daily living skills, such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. They also engaged Neil in cognitive exercises to enhance problem-solving skills and memory, which had been affected by his medical condition.
Understanding the impact of liver failure, the dietitian crafted a personalized nutrition plan rich in nutrient-dense foods to support liver health and overall recovery.
Neil also participated in counseling sessions to address his alcohol use and therapeutic recreation sessions that provided opportunities for creative expression and social interaction.
Through the combined efforts of his care team and Neil's unwavering commitment, he successfully completed all components of the care plan. Neil was discharged home, equipped with the tools and support necessary to maintain his recovery and lead a healthier lifestyle.
