Mother returns home following chronic heart failure just in time for her son’s birthday celebration

Last updated: 

After suffering from chronic heart failure, a mother returns home just in time for her son’s birthday celebration. Lisa Scott arrived at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Institute of Tucson in March, following a tragic incident with septic shock due to chronic heart failure.

Scott was left debilitated due to the damaged nerve tissue in her hands and feet, but specialists say she remained resilient and dedicated to gaining her independence back while in rehab. With a goal of getting back home to her husband and two sons, it only took three weeks for her to make great strides toward regaining her strength and improving her range of motion. She is now able to walk with the assistance of her customized walking boots. Scott says her life has been changed by the care she received at Encompass Health of Tucson, and she is grateful to make it home in time to celebrate the birthday of her son.
