Phrenic Nerve Friday
As a former Olympic athlete, Sarah was used to living an active lifestyle. But when diaphragm paralysis left her struggling to breathe, even simple activities became a challenge.
Unable to exercise, hike, travel, or enjoy the things she loved most, Sarah began searching for answers and was referred to Dr. Matthew Kaufman for phrenic nerve reconstruction surgery.
Sarah shares her journey, the impact diaphragm paralysis had on her daily life, and the hope she found through treatment.
"Thanks to Dr. Kaufman, I finally found hope for my recovery and a chance to do what I love again."
