Pablo's Success Story
After a perforated ulcer led to acute peritonitis and sepsis, Pablo was admitted to Solara Specialty Hospital for advanced wound care, IV antibiotics, and nutritional support. Through physical and occupational therapy, he regained strength and independence, ultimately returning home to his family.
Pablo, an active and independent individual, cherished his time at home with his family. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he developed acute peritonitis due to a perforated ulcer, which led to sepsis. Following initial treatment at a local hospital, Pablo was admitted to Solara Brownsville for extended medical care.
Upon admission, Pablo required moderate assistance with mobility and was unable to walk long distances. His condition was critical, necessitating a comprehensive care plan that included daily wound care and antibiotics to treat his sepsis and support wound healing. A key part of Pablo’s recovery also involved nutritional support. The Solara team provided a balanced and tailored nutrition plan to help restore his energy levels, promote tissue repair, and support overall recovery. This plan ensured Pablo received the vital nutrients necessary to complement his medical treatment and therapy sessions.
To address his physical challenges, the rehabilitation team at Solara designed a customized therapy program to help Pablo regain his strength and independence. Physical therapy sessions focused on building endurance, improving balance, and increasing his walking capacity. Pablo utilized advanced rehabilitation gym equipment, including parallel bars, a recumbent bike, and resistance machines, which played a vital role in rebuilding his muscle strength and stamina. Occupational therapy emphasized enhancing his ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, grooming, and transferring safely.
Pablo worked diligently with the therapy team, showing remarkable determination and resilience. With the comprehensive care provided by the Solara team and his unwavering commitment, Pablo surpassed all the goals outlined in his care plan. By the time of discharge, he could walk over 350 feet with modified independence using a walker and independently perform ADLs.
Thanks to his incredible progress, Pablo was discharged home with his family, resuming his life with renewed strength and independence. From the entire care team at Solara, we wish Pablo all the success in his recovery.
Care for Complex Conditions
Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
