Patient Testimony

Mrs. Sarah and her daughter Lillia share their experience of Lillia's pneumonia treatment. Lillia was having difficulty breathing, so they took her to the doctor who sent her to the ER, where she received excellent care. The doctors used advanced technology to provide high-flow oxygen instead of intubation. Dr. Milland oversaw her case and kept them informed. Lillia is now completely recovered. This testimony highlights the importance of not overlooking pneumonia, even in healthy children, and being proactive in treatment. Here is a patient testimony from Mrs. Sarah and seven-year-old Lillia. Hi, my name is Sarah, and this is my daughter. Hi, my name is Lillia, and I'm seven years old. Well, we brought our daughter to a doctor's appointment with Dr. Shivanarayan on Monday, and she was having real problems breathing, and he sent her immediately to the ER, which was the right thing to do, and they took care of her from there and sent her to the ICU, and she was in respiratory distress. They were worried about her lung collapsing. She had viral pneumonia, and the doctors there provided her absolutely excellent, excellent care. All the nurses were good. Everybody was good. They had the highest technologies. They got her on the high-flow oxygen machine rather than intubating her, and even though it was a hard week for my husband and I going back and forth to the hospital, we knew that she was in excellent, excellent hands. Dr. Milland was the doctor in charge of all her case. He was in charge of the whole thing, and he did an excellent job. He was always checking on her, always checking how she was, always informing us of what was going on, and she's completely better today, and we know. We're very, very thankful for her. This testimony shows that pneumonia can infect anyone, including healthy young children, and emphasizes the point that having pneumonia is scary and is not something that should be overlooked. Being proactive once diagnosed with pneumonia is super important, and that is what Lilia's doctors and her parents did, and because of that, she is perfectly healthy today.
