Battling the Odds: Kelly’s Inspirational Path to Recovery

_{July 24, 2024}
They say things can change in the blink of an eye, and that's just what happened to one of our residents. This is Kelly's story. Kelly came to Batavia Nursing Care Center on April 18th, 2024 from UC Hospital. The last couple of months had been a challenging one for him, going from one hospital to another before he got here.

It started out a normal day; he was driving for the Amish taking them to appointments and so on. That day he said he overdid it and felt really tired and was falling asleep on his way home. He told his family that if he still felt like this he was going to the ER. The next day came and he still felt bad. He said when he got to the hospital that his oxygen level was at 40%. They admitted him right away. He ended up getting transferred to a Jewish hospital. They said that he had pneumonia, Sepsis, and a UTI.



He was starting to feel better then right before he was getting ready to be discharged, he coded on them. They had to put a trach in and put him on the ventilator because he was in respiratory failure. They transferred him to Drake to start his rehabilitation. He ended up going back to UC and then they transferred him here to Batavia Nursing Care Center. When he got here, he was on three liters of oxygen. Our Nursing, Respiratory and Therapy Departments started working with him and now he is off the vent, had his trach removed and is on one liter of oxygen.

He says he is so happy that things seem to be going better for him. He can’t wait to get home and spend time with his family. He loves watching TV, movies, NASCAR, old school wrestling, and the Bengals. He says this place has helped him so much and everyone here is so nice. The staff is extremely caring and goes out of their way to help whenever he needs it. Kelly’s advice is to always look for the positive in any situation. Don’t ever give up!
