Support for Big R
Donation protected
On December 17 of last year, our dad, Randy Reynolds, suffered a stroke. He was coaching the Wyoming Cowboys boys' basketball team at Northwest High School and thanks to the help of the Wyoming coaches and fans, he was immediately taken to the hospital and treated by UC's Neuro ICU team. He lost function on his left side and had to fight for his life. Through strength and perseverance, Randy survived the stroke and has been putting all of his efforts into rehabbing and piecing his life back together. This has proven to be the challenge of a lifetime.
As his daughters, our roles as his greatest supporters and biggest cheerleaders have been put on hold to navigate the frustrating waters of insurance cut offs, age restrictions, and facilities with hidden costs and fees. He does not qualify for Medicare or elderly services because of his age. Each day has been dedicated to finding a way to keep him in a safe place and facilitate his recovery. He is currently unable to be home as he cannot be left alone due to fall risk. We have deduced that he will need to continue his rehab in an assisted living facility that has 24/7 care, because of falls and help with showering, dressing, etc. Insurance continues to deny our claims to keep him in skilled nursing, so we are currently paying thousands of dollars out of pocket on a weekly basis. The 6 months following a major stroke is the most crutial time for regaining brain functionality and neuroplasticity.
For now, the assisted living facility is the best place for him to be as they're able to provide him with the care and rehabilitation that is needed for him to go on and live independently. As these costs add up quickly with no help from his insurance company, we are asking for help with the assisted living costs. Our dad is a proud man but we have to appeal to loved ones to help him in his recovery.
Continued prayers and positive vibes are always needed. We are hoping to give him a chance to focus solely on his recovery so he can get back on the bench by next season.
Thank you for your support, prayers, and kind words.
