Pediatric Patient Discharged After Battle with Multisystem
Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)
Staff at Richmond University Medical Center gave a warm sendoff
to a 16-year-old patient from Staten Island after his battle with
Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C).

The patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 in early May and
admitted to Richmond University Medical Center a week later
when he developed symptoms of MIS-C. He was discharged less
than a week later following treatment by a team of physicians,
nurses, and clinical professionals led by Melissa Grageda, MD,
chief medical director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
and director of pediatric quality and performance improvement.

“Behind every successful discharge is a hard-working team of providers
 that makes this possible,” Dr. Grageda said. “The entire PICU team is
 extremely happy that our patient had a remarkable recovery and was
 discharged home to his family. Special thanks to our resident physicians
 Dr. Asaad and Dr. Garimella, and our PICU nurses Lauren and ToniAnne,
 who worked nonstop from the time the patient was admitted until he
 improved. Also, many thanks to the patient and his family for sharing
 their story, because everyone needs good news, especially during these
 prolonged, uncertain times.”

The patient was accompanied by his mother, father, brother and
sister as he said good-bye to the hospital and staff.

COVID-19 Patient Discharged After Over 40 Days On Ventilator
On June 16, Staten Islander Brian Volpini, 51,
was discharged after recovering from COVID-19.
Admitted on April 20, Volpini spent over 40 days
on a ventilator to help him breathe while his
body fought against the virus.

“Brian is one of those cases that shows why as
 doctors we never give up,” said Jay Nfonoyim,
 MD, and vice chair of medicine. “We just kept
 saying there will be a light at the end of Brian’s
 tunnel and we will not give up on him. When you
 see him finally going home it validates why we
 do what we do.”

Volpini was admitted by ambulance to Richmond
University Medical Center on April 20 and placed
almost immediately on a ventilator to assist his
breathing. From the time he was admitted to
his discharge on June 17, Volpini spent his entire
admission in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit
(ICU) under the direct care of Dr. Nfonoyim.

Volpini was discharged to a nearby rehabilitation
center to continue his recovery. As Volpini left,
staff from the ICU applauded and cheered
their miracle patient, wishing him well on his            Patient Brian Volpini with RUMC nurses Lisa Yeno, RN; and Rosalie Roccanova, RN.
