Kelin Pavon Galvez

When Kelin Pavon Galvez faced a life-threatening health crisis, she was admitted to a local hospital, where she coded multiple times and was given a grim prognosis. Despite the overwhelming odds, Kelin’s determination to fight for her life—and for her three young children—kept her going.

Recognizing her need for specialized, long-term care, Kelin was referred to Vibra Hospital of Houston, a critical care hospital dedicated to treating patients with complex medical challenges.

Upon her arrival at Vibra Hospital, Kelin faced significant obstacles, including dependence on a tracheostomy and ventilator to breathe. Yet, her resilience, coupled with the unwavering support of her mother and Vibra’s dedicated multidisciplinary team, set the stage for her remarkable recovery.

The Vibra care team crafted a comprehensive plan tailored to Kelin’s needs and recovery goals. This included ventilator weaning, respiratory therapy, and intensive physical rehabilitation designed to rebuild her strength and restore her independence.

Over 51 days, Kelin achieved milestones that once seemed impossible. She successfully weaned off the ventilator and tracheostomy, regaining the ability to breathe on her own. With the guidance of Vibra’s physical therapists, she regained her mobility to the point of climbing two flights of stairs—an extraordinary accomplishment given her initial condition!

At the end of her stay, Kelin returned home under the care of home health services, finally reuniting with her children and beginning a new chapter of her life.

Kelin’s story is a testament to the power of expert care, determination, and the unwavering support of loved ones. Her journey inspires us all, and we are honored to have been part of her path to recovery.
