Patient in Kansas City ICU anxiously awaits life-saving Christmas gift

The ICU is not where anyone would choose to celebrate Christmas, but at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, there is a patient who remains optimistic about receiving a life-changing gift, making this Christmas truly unforgettable.

Brent Snyder has been at St. Luke’s hospital for six weeks, eagerly awaiting a life-saving heart transplant.

“This present is going to be the best ever,” Snyder exclaimed. “I don’t think I can ever top this one.”

St. Luke’s Hospital has achieved a remarkable milestone by being one of the select few programs to successfully perform 1,000 heart transplants. As Snyder waits for a suitable donor match, he envisions the possibilities and eagerly anticipates what he could be doing during the next Christmas season.

“I hope to regain my ability to do everything again,” Snyder expresses optimistically. “I was on hospice, but I managed to overcome it, and now I am determined to get a new heart so that I can start afresh and live a new life. I have always dreamt of visiting Australia.”

Even though Snyder is away from home, he still feels a sense of family during the holidays after getting to know the staff.

“I’m grateful to have them by my side,” Snyder expressed his appreciation. “They are all exceptional nurses, and my doctor, Dr. Cal, is also outstanding.”

For the doctors and nurses who are working during the Christmas holidays, medical emergencies don’t take a break. However, the opportunity to assist patients like Brent and witness their progress is the most valuable gift they could receive.

“It is truly rewarding to be a nurse,” expressed Nicole Roberson, the House Supervisor. “I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have a job where I can make a meaningful and essential difference in the lives of others. As nurses, we prioritize the well-being of our patients and often become an integral part of their families.”

In order to maintain a cheerful and uplifting atmosphere for patients, doctors and nurses in the St. Luke’s ICU suggest incorporating good food into the workplace. This not only allows for a cultural exchange amongst colleagues but also introduces patients to new holiday traditions.
