On October 6th, 2025, Caleb woke up unable to walk without falling. We rushed him to the emergency room, and after endless testing, Caleb had left the doctors stumped. They transferred him to Indianapolis, nearly 2 hours from home, where he was eventually diagnosed with Miller Fisher Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder that attacks the nervous system. MFS is 1 in 1 million! This left Caleb unable to walk, talk, eat, or see properly, with a typical recovery taking 6-12 months. He is slowly making progress but will have a long road ahead of him with a potential stay in rehabilitation when he is discharged from the hospital.

Caleb is a loving father of two, and his absence has left a hole in our family. His diagnosis has placed a large financial burden on him and our family as I have become the only one working in the home. He will have substantial medical bills and continue to need intensive therapy after he is finally discharged home. He could use any and all support as he and our family navigate this difficult time.
