This hospital saved my life. I would not be here today, a 39 yr. single mother of a 9 yr. Old without the amazing team at Ascension Franklin. In may 2020 I arrived unconscious into your emergency room (my daughter called 911 at home for me because I couldn't breathe right or stand up). Dr. Kattapuli (sp?) and his team of nurses, PAs, other MDs, RTs, worked with his team and my family. Testing negative for covid19 but having the antibodies. The Cytokine storm is what I was told.. Him and my father had to decide to give me tPA, dialysis and eventually put me on a ventilator to save my life. He worked with my family and kept them informed the whole time. I was moved to the ICU where I remained on the ventilator and was able to come off on my daughters birthday. The ICU staff and then the floor staff as I recovered was absolutely amazing. I will forever be grateful and when I've had to come back since, it's been just as amazing for me. Thank you to you all. There's truly no way I can ever repay you.
