Just wanted to publicly thank Phyllis for allowing us to post this video to share with our therapy colleagues and students. You are an inspiration to us all and the reason we love our job.

I'm a Physical Therapist and seeing this Video makes me appreciate my job more and more :) "Hurrah!!!" to all Physical Therapists in the World!!!

I was on a vent for 30 days. If it wasn't for some amazing PTs I would have never gotten the will to walk again. Hats off to you guys!

I'm currently a First Year PT student, and found this video informational, but most of all inspiring! A Big Thank You for sharing and allowing us to experience your journey!!!

My eyes started to tear up at the end when Phyllis started thanking the therapists. Thank you so much for sharing this!

This is absolutely beautiful. Encompasses what the whole PT profession is about!!! Getting people back to their loved ones and doing the things they love! Great work.

Thank you, Phyllis, for having the courage to share your journey with us! -Student Physical Therapist at UCSF/SFSU

This is why I feel physiotherapy is such a rewarding career to pursue. I am very proud to be in this profession!

Thank you Phyllis and all those who participated in your rehabilitation!!

What a wonderful video. I found this through the acute care APTA section listserve and will certainly show this to my colleagues as well as the PTA school where I teach! I have to say, that I shed a little tear when I saw Phyllis walk in to visit. I love it when patients come back to visit! Jill, PT Orlando FL

I am doing my first year in university and Physio was not my first choice and I wasn't happy about doing it.I'm almost done with my first year and I'm falling inlove with physiotherapy and this video just sealed it!I am not going anywhere.Physical therapy is where I'll be in the next four years of varsity!This was so inspiring thank you!

Yay Phyllis! Your hard work paid off!! Thank you for coming back and being an inspiration to other patients and their families. And yes to the therapists!

Thank you Darrin for sharing this fantastic story!!!

Just finishing my first OTA PTA placement, this is really encouraging and refreshing to see.

This is so great! Sharing with my Health Informatics students who will be working with PTs at a local hospital to pull data to encourage more orders for PTs in the ICU! I'm sure this will inspire them! Thank you for documenting!

My mother is going through this right now 55 years old she just woke up yesterday polyneuropathy she went in with an ammonia septic shock and ARDS she was on a ventilator for 12 days before waking up she still on the ventilator now thank you for the video

Such a wonderful gift to share one’s story! Thank you so much.

What this does not show or reveal is that myself and another friend (RN) who are Shaklee Business Leaders under Phyllis began giving her a Shaklee regimen the day she entered this facility. She could not eat the food they were bringing her but she could drink the Shaklee protein and the nurses ignored us as we came in three time a day to give her Shaklee supplements and protein. She was in ICU for about 90 days before they moved her to rehab. She had terrible bed sores because they kept thinking she was going to die and just didn't move her enough. She did die several months later after she lost Warren to long standing heart problems and she developed Pneumonia at one point, recovered but developed it again and would not go back to the hospital or receive any care. Died quietly in her bed. RIP Alice Coker, Shaklee Executive Coordinator

Hello Alice. Thank you for helping Phyllis, and for your follow-up information. Very sorry to hear of the loss of Phyllis and Warren. Can you tell me if Phyllis had Guillain-Barre Syndrome? The video description does not indicate so, although another page displaying this video indicates that she did. caringcare.info/2016/04/25/occurrence-of-fatigue-over-20ears-after-recovery-from-guillain-barre-syndrome/

watching this video i was proud about us lacking of resource we are working neurosurgical unit and stroke unit this way. only common thing is commitment to our job anyway this is good video man..

Great!!!!

How did Phyllis stay in acute care? or How long did it took for her to overcome after the result?

As a brazillian physicaltherapist I'm completely proud on you man. Not satisfied working in my country without resources and the devices our job is worthy of. Is it so difficult getting a residence in your wprkplace?

Innovative mobility strategies for the patient with ICU-acquired weakness: a case report. Phys Ther. 2013 Feb;93(2):237-47. Our publication goes into detail of her recovery, tolerance of activity, and rationale for each mobilization strategy in the 4-phase ICU mobility protocol.

What is the name of the standing device at 1’50 and the reference of the white belt you use to hold the patient at 3’56 please ? Thank you.

I had a stroke I am already a year in a rehab place but still I can walk

I need book to icu rehabilitation

Today Phyllis is working her Shaklee business once again, helping others, as she did for me 25 years ago, to rebuild their health when they didn't believe it was possible through using the best of nutrition which is what her friends and I made sure she had while she was in Solara.

I need help I need a good rehabilitation place in NYC

What hospital is this?

This is amazing! May I ask how long was Phyllis's recovery?

1445/8/24

Just curious why is patient wearing a mask ? Isn’t oxygen important for recovery?
