A combination of three viruses, asthma treatment and side effects of an anti-thyroid medication developed into symptoms \u201clike an elephant sitting on your chest, and a building on top of that,\u201d said Saldana, now 16, \u201cjust not being able to take a full breath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The turning point happened on that flight, said her mother, Jenifer Schon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always say that drug that they pushed was the beginning of, \u2018We\u2019re going to make it,\u2019\u201d Schon said, adding that the people on the helicopter \u201creally were the beginning of my child\u2019s life being saved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeanna didn\u2019t just care for my child, who was literally in this life-threatening situation, but she took the time to care for me, the mom,\u201d Schon said, adding that Harpman comforted her on the flight, patting her leg, talking to her through the headset and giving her a hug at the end \u2013 \u201cjust the little extra things she put into that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saldana didn\u2019t remember much about the flight besides a mask that covered her face in condensation, and how when she tried to remove it, a voice intervened. Nearly four years later, on June 3, 2019, she heard that same voice: Harpman surprised Saldana on her 16th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital was a stop on a scavenger hunt that Schon, who works in UCHealth business services, set up to highlight 16 places that made a difference in her daughter\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeeting her again, it was cool because then I had a face with the lady who kept telling me to put the mask back on,\u201d Saldana said.<\/p>\n<p>This fall, Saldana begins her junior year at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland. She\u2019s doing much better. In November 2015, she had a procedure to treat her thyroid. And she\u2019s now a competitive swimmer \u2013 an exercise her doctor told her would strengthen her lungs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was fun to see her so much older,\u201d Harpman said. \u201cAnd she was so thankful and just sweet. I&#8217;m so happy we could be there and do that for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harpman \u2013 a nurse with 26 years of experience, including 10 as a flight nurse \u2013 has two daughters of her own, one of whom is also 16.<\/p>\n<p>Her manager, Duane Rorie, said she\u2019s \u201cextremely well-liked and regarded\u201d among colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is positive, consistently demonstrates clinical expertise, searches for ways we can improve care, and is very patient and family focused,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026Leanna sets the standard for being a flight nurse rock star, and I am thankful to have her on the LifeLine team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Saldana\u2019s sweet-16 surprise, LifeLine team members signed a huge card wishing her a happy birthday. And Harpman, on her day off, welcomed the girl to the MCR helipad with a hug.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think all of us are very willing to do that,\u201d Harpman said. \u201cWe make a big impact on their lives, and they make a big impact on ours, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flight nurse creates calm amid crisis, offers hugs The intensity of a helicopter ride amid a medical emergency is extremely nerve-wracking, but UCHealth LifeLine flight nurse Leanna Harpman is known for her soothing care. \u201cShe\u2019s good at team management, helping people calm down \u2013 being the eye of the storm when there\u2019s chaos going on,\u201d [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2242,"featured_media":34656,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"on","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"Relevanssi image attachment filter Relevanssi index exclude","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4826],"class_list":["post-34655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-you-make-extraordinary-possible"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
