These past few months have been the most challenging months of my life. I’ve been less active here because my focus has been on what truly matters: my family. ❤️ When my husband, Logan—a healthy 37-year-old—suffered a stroke out of nowhere, our world turned upside down in an instant. The hardest decision I’ve ever faced came next: to be by my husband’s side or care for our daughter. Thankfully, my mom and grandma stepped in for Oakley so I could pour my heart into helping Logan in ways only I could. Logan spent over a month intubated, and without access to therapists during that time, it was up to me to step in and do what I could to help…luckily I’m a physical therapist and quickly went to work at his bedside. Using everything I knew—neuro rehab basics, ortho PT principles, and sheer determination—I would help him sometimes for 8+ hours a day during the first month or so to keep his body moving, maintain his strength, and preserve his mobility. When he transitioned to inpatient rehab, I kept helping by bridging the neuro-rehab gap & would help him with strength training, functional exercises, and even BFR to give him every possible edge. We are just 3.5 months into a recovery that could take a year or more, but Logan is already showing incredible progress & is exceedingly everyone’s expectations —& we’re not slowing down. His unwavering determination to regain 100% function inspires me daily, and our sweet daughter, Oakley, is the best medicine & motivation! This journey isn’t easy and it’s long from over, but love, resilience, and faith will keep driving us forward. & I will continue to do whatever it takes to help my husband & my family! Thank you for your support, prayers, and love as we navigate this journey. Your encouragement means the world to us. ❤️
