Aubree's Success Story
Aubree, an avid hiker and runner, was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm, a brain bleed, respiratory failure, and hemorrhagic shock. She required a ventilator, feeding tube, and a spleen removal. At Cornerstone Specialty Hospital, she was weaned from the ventilator and made significant strides in recovering her mobility.
Aubree, an avid hiker and runner, awoke with a severe headache one morning. A CT scan revealed a ruptured aneurysm and bleeding in the brain. She was also diagnosed with respiratory failure, requiring ventilator assistance.
While at the hospital, she experienced significant blood loss leading to hemorrhagic shock. The medical team acted swiftly, performing emergency surgery to remove her spleen. Aubree was placed on a feeding tube and remained bed-bound for an extended period.
After weeks of slow progress, Aubree was transferred to Cornerstone Specialty Hospital for ventilator weaning, respiratory therapy, IV antibiotics, and a robust restorative therapy program encompassing physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
Aubree made remarkable strides in her recovery. The ventilator weaning process posed challenges, but with the skillful guidance of her respiratory therapists, she gradually regained her ability to breathe independently.
In physical therapy, Aubree worked on regaining strength and endurance, eventually advancing to walking 50ft using a rolling walker.
Having made significant strides in her recovery, Aubree was discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation facility where she could focus on additional therapy.
