5 /5 Heidenrich Candace (Aperture Advisory): We greatly appreciate all the care, support and personal attention our sister received while she stayed at the hospital for over two weeks.
In particular, we would like to call out Dr. Shaxena who made extra efforts to connect with us as a family and also with my sister on a very personal basis. She took an interest when we had to weigh the options for our sister to transfer to a post-acute facility after her release from the hospital.
Although we initially thought that we might even be trained to do the IVs every 4 hours and take her home, the doctor really asked me whether that was doable.
I am so glad she questioned that because my sister has needed physical therapy to rebound and only a post-acute or skilled nursing facility can accommodate that on a regular basis. The IVs are complex and it would have been next to impossible for us to do all that.
Also, We would like to share our appreciation for the entire nursing staff, Infectious disease, doctors, and neurologists.
We wish to thank Santa Clara Valley Medical Hospital. You saved her life.
