Their lives have been dramatically transformed since Randy’s spinal cord injury. Wendy has made the difficult decision to retire, dedicating herself fully as Randy’s caregiver. Earlier this spring, they invested in a used mobility van, allowing them to make the necessary trips to Fargo twice a week from their home in Detroit Lakes, for outpatient therapy. Beyond these medical visits, their outings are limited as Randy relies entirely on assistance for transfers, toileting, and requires setup help for meals. Financially, the situation has become quite challenging, but they face each day with resilience, doing their best to navigate the difficulties one step at a time.
