Sandra's Success Story
After sustaining an injury during a river trip that led to a serious infection and necrotizing fasciitis, Sandra came to Kindred Hospital for advanced wound care and rehabilitation. After receiving specialized treatments, including vacuum-assisted closure, IV antibiotics, and progressive physical therapy, she was discharged with over 90% wound closure.
Sandra was enjoying time with loved ones on a river trip when she sustained an injury on her sacral region. After developing an infection at the wound site, she was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis.
Once she was in stable condition, she was transferred to Kindred Hospital for advanced wound care and rehabilitation.
At Kindred, Sandra’s wound care team utilized advanced techniques such as vacuum assisted closure to help promote healing. They also performed regular assessments and specialized dressing changes to minimize pain and optimize recovery. Additionally, she received IV antibiotic therapy to help fight bacteria during the healing process.
While she healed, she began physical and occupational therapy. Initially, Sandra’s therapy was restricted by a sitting protocol that only allowed her to sit for 15 minutes at a time. However, once the sitting precautions were lifted, Sandra experienced a breakthrough. She rapidly progressed in her rehabilitation, gaining strength and endurance through consistent practice and the support of her therapy team.
By the time Sandra was ready for discharge, her wound had healed over 90% and she had met all her rehabilitation goals. She returned home with a home health plan tailored to support her continued recovery.
