Randy had a stroke!

             Well where to begin.....seems one evening Randy was fine and next moment Kristen said something is wrong with dad and said call 911.   And so it was he had had a stroke at the age of 49 to be 50 in two months.  Right after air lifted in helicopter to Orlando he was immediately given attention.  It was fast acting on doctors part and was very emotional for all of us.  Then later he begin to be told what had happened and if all who know Randy then you know he is a fighter...
          After it all was explained to him he got emotional and then listened and begin to  move forward and do all they had ask him to do.  Sooo much love and prayers went up  to our Heavenly Father to please let him make it through this and everyone surrounded him with love and support!  Dad rushed to hospital to give him a blessing before he was air lifted to Orlando. Todd also rushed to his side and know it was pretty emotional to watch his brother struggle to say just simple words as he did. It would be a scary thing to wake up one morning and to have to know you must relearn some things that before you took for granted!
        Emotions were high and so glad Jen was here.  Jen stuck right by his side and even taking off work to be near Randy and she was amazing with her support and working with Randy daily during this whole time!!! Helping him everyday learn to pronoun words and kept telling him how great he was doing and just how awesome he was!
          We all visited him at the hospital and of course worked hard to keep him in good spirits.  He had a bad headache alot at first and his speech was a problem plus he was crying alot but as each day came and went he made remarkable recovery.  We all were quite concerned at first and could not believe this could be happening but it did and after a couple days Randy started the process of learning and put his all into it and never gave up, he is a fighter and went to work doing all the doctors ask him to do plus even went beyond what was required.   Today he is near back to himself ,  working on improving in certain areas of course.   Soon he will be back to normal,  has plenty time, his work has given him plenty time off  and more than he will need cause he is doing so well!
  Today he is eating only healthy foods, dropping weight and he quit smoking six months ago and not even drinking soda.   He is totally forcused on losing weight and being healthy! A few pictures of him recouping. We are so proud of Randy and happy to know he is healing and showing signs of remarkable recovery!!
