David's Recovery from Kidney Failure and Respiratory Distress
When David arrived at Cornerstone Specialty Hospital, he was reliant on a ventilator and had multiple health issues. After working with his interdisciplinary care team, he was able to discharge to home.
A Patient Success Story From Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Huntington
Weak and unable to walk, David was hospitalized for kidney failure that led to dialysis and ventilator dependence.
AT ADMISSION
David suffered from renal failure and immune-related kidney inflammation, requiring hemodialysis. He later required mechanical ventilation and a tracheostomy.
TREATMENT AT CORNERSTONE
Once transferred to Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Huntington, David received wound care, nursing, respiratory therapy, dietary support, physical therapy and occupational therapy. After dialysis, his kidney function recovered, and he was decannulated. He regained the endurance to walk long distances.
OUTCOME
After a 76-day stay, David was discharged and returned home, excited to return to his own house with his spouse and teenage child. “It has been a wonderful stay,” he said.
