Thank you to Dr Hourani and the respiratory therapy team and other colleagues that made it possible for me to be weaned off the ventilator. Before kindred I was told at 3 different hospitals that it was impossible for me to breathe without the ventilator.On day one I met Dr Hourani, the RT Director and the Respiratory Supervisor. Day 2 the Respiratory Therapist started to wean me. The supervisor later changed my trach tube so I can talk. This was the most exciting and wonderful time.I have not heard my voice in 4 months. Moving forward, I was discharged last week to a rehab hospital for more exercise. I did not need the ventilator anymore. I am very very grateful for Dr Hourani and the team at kindred Los Angeles. I would also recommend this place as the best facility for vent weaning and rehabilitation.
