Jonathon’s Recovery from Sepsis and Deep Vein Thrombosis

Jonathon faced severe MRSA bloodstream infection, sepsis, bone infection, and a blood clot.

A Patient Success Story from Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Broken Arrow

When a serious MRSA infection spread through his bloodstream and into his knee and bone, Jonathon faced intense pain and a long road to recovery. At Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Broken Arrow, the focus was first on controlling his pain, then helping him get back on his feet.

AT ADMISSION

Jonathon was hospitalized with a severe MRSA bloodstream infection that led to sepsis. The infection spread into his knee and bone, requiring surgery to clean the joint. He also developed a dangerous blood clot in his leg that required treatment.

TREATMENT AT KINDRED

Jonathon arrived in severe pain and unable to walk, managing only to sit at the edge of the bed. Wound care, dietary, and infectious disease specialists worked together to manage his symptoms and support his recovery. As his condition improved, physical and occupational therapy helped him regain strength and mobility. Within days, he took his first three steps and soon was walking the halls with a cane. He also completed his course of antibiotics, and his wound healed.

OUTCOME

After one month of treatment and rehabilitation, Jonathon was discharged home.
