Help My Parents

Donation protected

Hi my name is Taylor Frolander my parents are Luke & Jody Masuen, and i'm doing a fundraiser to help them out!

As many of you already know my dad was hospitalized with covid on August 14th. My mom took him to the E.R. on aug10th after he had passed out several times and they diagnosed him with covid, gave him fluids and sent him home. After 3 days at home his oxygen dropped below the recommended level of 93 to 86 so my mom took him back to the E.R. on Aug 14th, and after diagnosing him with pnemonia they admitted him. He spent one day on the covid floor where he continued to decline, they moved him to the progressive care unit where once again he continued to decline even after they put him on the high flo nasal cannula oxygen and assisted that with a bipap machine over several days. He was then admitted into the I.C.U and was put on a ventilator. He came off the ventilator after about a week and was moved back to the progressive care unit where he was put back on the high flo nasal oxygen. His left leg became numb and after an M.R.I. they discovered he has a Hematoma caused from too many blood thinners, they stopped the blood thinners and are hoping his body will re absorbe the blood and that will take the pressure off of his nerve. After about a week there he was moved back up to the covid floor where he remains today. He cannot stand, or walk and has lost 40 pounds to date. He continues to work with the physical therapists but is still really week. While he was in the I.C.U they determined that he is pre diabetic and have been treated that accordingly with diet and insulin shots. My mom has been giving everyone daily updates via text since the day my dad went in to the hospital. Currently she talks to my dad almost 24/7 on the phone just trying to give him some kind of comfort since none of us can go see him (hospital rules for covid) , i know this is wearing her out but she does'nt know what else to do . My parents have been together for 28 years married almost 24 and they have never spent more than 4 days apart, so this is been very hard for both of them. My mom has'nt been able to work for the past 28 days because we had to quarantine twice. My dad has started stressing out about their bills and work now that he is awake and is just stuck in the hospital. We are'nt sure when he is coming home yet, but he will need full time care when he does, so my mom still won't be able to work. His recovery looks like it will take a few months at least and will require a lot of dr appts and physical therapy. My hope is that neither one of them will worry about money so that they can just focus on my dads healing. Thank you for all your help for my family! love Taylor
