Ron's Road to Rehabilitation

On 11/23, Ron suffered 4 strokes landing him in Englewood Hospital for 12 days. An MRI showed evidence of past chronic strokes, all of which we were unaware, and after many tests, an MRA (angiogram) showed severe stenosis & vasculitis as the culprit. He has been impacted most severely by an impairment of speech, language, comprehension and cognition, otherwise known as Aphasia. 

 

After just 3 days in an acute rehab facility, Ron tested positive for COVID and was sent into isolation, which has been extremely debilitating for his progress. He has thankfully just been moved out of quarantine, however the facility and insurance company have decided that returning Ron home should be the next step in his recovery journey.

 

We have obviously been completely overwhelmed and shocked by this life changing event but are grateful that he survived such devastating damage. We have been so touched by the outpouring support we have received from those of you who have asked "how can we help?"

 

The road to rehabilitating Ron's severe aphasia is going to be a long one and, as he is not fit or able to be left unsupervised in his current condition, we are facing extreme in-home care costs. If you would like to help, please consider making a donation to his in-home care therapy and home care and therapy costs so we can get this brilliant, articulate, and intuitive man's brain back up and running while keeping him safe.

 

Any help would be so greatly appreciated by his clan of girls (wife Cindy and daughters Lili, Christina, and Caitlin) and grandkids (Annabelle and Jack).
