DJ Will's Stroke "Road to Recovery" Fund

On July 23rd, everything changed. Will was getting ready for a gig in the afternoon and started to not "feel right." He came downstairs, and it was apparent he needed to get to the hospital fast. At 4 pm, he suffered his first of two strokes in less than 24 hours. He was admitted to observation as most of his symptoms had resolved. I was able to go home, get some rest and figured I would be picking him up the next day after further testing and medication management.

On July 24th, at 8:30 am, Will called me, and I could not understand anything he was saying other than "ICU" and "tpa". He had his second stroke at 3:30 am, which paralyzed his left side, and he could not speak clearly or without extreme difficulty. The next week in the ICU was tough, although he kept making progress.

On August 1st, he was sent to an inpatient Acute Rehab facility, where he worked so hard every day to complete PT, OT, and Speech Therapy for over two weeks. He came home on August 18th, able to speak and walk with minimal assistance, but his left arm and hand still have limitations. He continues to go to outpatient rehab, making strides weekly.

Unfortunately, Will cannot work due to his condition, and the medical bills are piling up. Any funds received will go directly to Will's medical bills, rehabilitation, and assist him while he is out of work.

We cannot begin to thank everyone for the outpouring of love over this last month and a half and the continued support and encouragement on his road to recovery. Will puts his all in every day to get back out there and cannot wait to entertain you all again.

Love,

Will, Lisa, & Brynn
