In January 2023, six-year-old Kaslyn D. suffered from a series of cardiac and neurological emergencies. She was rushed to Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and required several surgeries and treatment. During her time at CHOC, Kaslyn went into cardiac arrest multiple times. Thanks to the life saving measures offered by her stellar care team, Kaslyn was stabilized and sent HealthBridge Children’s Hospital (HBOC) on March 3.
When she was admitted to HealthBridge, Kaslyn was non-ambulatory, non vocal, and unable to fulfill the simplest of tasks like sitting up and eating without extensive assistance. With aggressive physical, speech and occupational therapy while at HealthBridge, Kaslyn was eventually able to return home in May.
While at HBOC, an integrated team of specialized rehabilitation professionals began working with her on every part of her interdisciplinary care plan.
