Derek Lainhardt's Road to Recovery

Donation protected
On Thursday, June 15th, 2023 our Father, Derek Lainhardt suffered a blood clot on the right side of his brain that caused a massive stroke. Derek was taken to Wilson Hospital to immediately have the stroke treated where he had his first surgery to remove the blood clot. Over the next few days, Derek had significant swelling in his brain that prompted a second surgery. To reduce the swelling, Derek, had to have the left side of his skull removed. After this second surgery, Derek remained stable but was on a ventilator and NG tube. The next few weeks were spent at Wilson until Derek was moved to Sunnyview Rehabilitation Center on July 20th.

Derek is currently at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Center where he is continuing his road to recovery. When Derek first arrived at Sunnyview he had an NG Tube and Tracheostomy with limited mobility on the left side of his body. With the help of the amazing team at Sunnyview, Derek is slowly starting to regain his mobility and verbal communication skills. Once Derek completes his time at Sunnyview, he will be heading back home with his wife Anna.

This Go Fund Me page is to help Derek and his wife with the anticipated costs of preparing the home for his return. As Derek is still unable to walk they will need to install a ramp for home entry as well as additional bathroom and home modifications. Other funds from this campaign will go towards Derek's recovery to ensure that he receives the best care and reduce any financial burden the family may experience.

Throughout this difficult time, Derek has maintained a positive and resilient outlook on his future recovery. Despite these setbacks, Derek is determined to walk and regain his left-side mobility. Derek is looking forward to returning home with his wife and an anticipated reunion with his dog Milo.

Every contribution is welcome. Each donation will remind Derek that he is surrounded by love.

With much love,
The Lainhardts
