When temperatures rise, breathing can become more difficult – especially for people with underlying health conditions. While lung or heart disease may come to mind first, several lesser-known factors also can contribute to breathing difficulties in hotter weather, including anemia, anxiety, allergies, asthma, infections, dehydration, and fatigue. Chronic conditions like COPD, irregular heart rhythms, and autoimmune diseases also may flare up in the heat.

If you or someone you know experiences ongoing or sudden shortness of breath in hotter weather, be sure to talk to a healthcare provider.

What is mechanical ventilation? When someone can’t breathe properly on their own, a ventilator may help. This life-saving machine moves air in and out of the lungs – delivering oxygen the body needs and removing carbon dioxide. Ventilators are used when patients are experiencing respiratory failure or severe breathing problems.

Mechanical ventilators work by:
• Delivering air through a fitted mask or a breathing tube inserted into the nose, mouth, or throat
• Warming and moistening the air to keep the airways comfortable and functional
• Breathing for the patient or assisting with breathing as needed, depending on the patient’s condition

Mechanical ventilation gives the body time to rest and heal while ensuring vital organs get the oxygen they need.

After experiencing a stroke that left her unable to walk, 66-year-old Delia Gregg-Geddings was admitted to Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital (MRRH) for intensive therapy.

With the support of our interdisciplinary care team, Delia regained her strength, mobility, and independence in just 19 days. Today, she’s back to work, driving, cooking—and preparing for a long-planned trip to Alaska.

“If it hadn’t been for the medical and therapy staff of MRRH, I would still be trying to figure things out,” she shared.

We’re proud to be part of Delia’s journey and inspired by her determination.

A spinal cord injury (SCI) can profoundly impact daily life, affecting work, relationships, body image, and self-identity. Adults living with SCI have a nearly 80% higher risk of developing psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety compared to those without the injury.
Chronic pain, common after SCI, can worsen mental health by contributing to mood disorders, PTSD, and substance use. Additionally, social stigma and altered interactions, such as being ignored or underestimated, can erode self-esteem and deepen emotional distress. To support mental well-being, here are some practical tips:
• Share concerns with trusted friends to reduce isolation.
• Connect with peers for support and shared experiences.
• Engage in meaningful activities to maintain purpose.
• Use coping techniques like relaxation, meditation, and goal-setting to build resilience.

Following a spinal cord injury (SCI), maintaining proper nutrition is crucial to support healing, manage body weight, and reduce the risk of complications. Due to changes in metabolism and the body’s altered needs, adopting a well-balanced diet plays a vital role in promoting overall health and enhancing quality of life. Below are important recommendations to consider:
• Eat a balanced diet with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy.
• Limit high-fat, high-sugar, and high-salt foods to reduce health risks.
• Include enough fiber to support digestion and prevent constipation.
• Stay well-hydrated to support bodily functions and lower infection risk.
• Ensure adequate protein for skin health and pressure sore healing.
• Adjust food texture for safe eating if swallowing is difficult.
• Combine fiber and fluids to aid bowel management.
• Maintain moderate eating habits and appropriate physical activity.
• Consult a nutritionist or dietitian for personalized guidance.
