Prior to the diagnosis, Chandell attended college and was successful in her career as a Production Lead for Schweitzer Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Now at 27 years old, her condition significantly worsened after a surgical biopsy of her lung. Chandell went into respiratory arrest, was intubated, and eventually was in a coma and on life support. She transferred from a local hospital to NIACH and required a ventilator to help her breathe.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the expertise and collaboration of the respiratory-certified team members at NIACH, Chandell was weaned from the ventilator and could breathe on her own again after just 2 \u00bd weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Chandell\u2019s condition continued to improve. She was transferred to RHN when she was well enough to tolerate the required 15 hours\/week of therapy provided by the staff.<\/p>\n<p>Chandell laughs as she remembers the trepidation she felt when she learned how much therapy she would be doing. \u201cI was thinking that it would be all at once, but it wasn\u2019t like that at all \u2013 they plan it so well,\u201d she says. \u201cThe therapists were so nice and kind, and were always worried about me. They let us pick the music in the gym so you could jam out to whatever you wanted to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Chandell especially enjoyed the therapy pool, recalling how the water helped with her overall recovery. \u201cI couldn\u2019t even move, so it was really cool that the hospital had a pool lift to put me in the water,\u201d Chandell says. \u201cI could actually move when I was in the water, and that was one of my favorite things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Chandell\u2019s father also had a positive experience. \u201cTherapists Eric, Jeremiah, Janethe, Bella, and Grace made me \u2013 as a parent \u2013 feel 100% safe,\u201d he says. \u201cI knew Chandell was in the best hands. They made me feel at home and really comfortable, and I ended up falling in love with every one of those individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about her recovery goals, Chandell says she wanted to walk out of the hospital to go home and eat a plate of ribs. She happily reports that after therapies and treatment at RHN, she did both.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-f1c518e9ff58e869f80c8f093487abc9 av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div '     ><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In her mid 20s, Chandell was diagnosed with a lung disease that causes inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs.
