Ryan's Road to recovery

Donation protected
The Skrukrud Family has created this Gofundme account to help Ryan Skrukrud. Ryan suffered a stroke due to a  hemorrhage (bleed) in his brain on May 29th, 2018.  He woke up that morning and was unable to use his right hand along with his upper right side of his body. He had slurred speech, and tingling in his face.  He was taken into the ER where they performed tests to find out he had a hemorrhage located in the motor function area of the front lobe. It caused him to have a stroke and induced seizures. Ryan remains in the hospital with paralysis to his right side and is on anti seizure medication. He is attending physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. The doctors are waiting for the swelling to go down so they can perform more tests and determine if surgery is an option, they are worried due to where the hemmorhage is located. The other option would be gamma knife radiation at the Mayo clinic in Minnesota. At this point we are unsure of when he'll be released but he'll need 24/7 continuous care. He has an extreamly long road of recovery ahead and will be moving down to the state's where he can receive top notch care. We are seeking help to cover medical expenses, bills (due to him not being able to work), and the cost to help relocate him closer to the Mayo Clinic in  Minnesota.
 If you know Ryan you know he is the funniest guy, he always has a joke waiting, and his smile lights up the room! He enjoys drawing, fishing, camping, carpentry, hanging with friends, and most of all spending time with his family! This sudden tragic accident has been extreamly difficult and with no answers yet all we can do is pray for the best. We ask for your help and that you please share this, along with  keeping Ryan in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank You and God Bless, 
The Skrukrud Family
