Ben's Comeback- Powered by Love. Fueled by Faith.
From stroke survivor to comeback story. Sharing the highs & lows powered by love, grit & family.
💔 9 MONTHS INTO BEN'S COMEBACK… AND THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER. 💔
On January 4, 2026, our lives changed forever. One catastrophic stroke took away so much of the life Ben once knew. And for over 9 long months, he has been fighting every single day to get pieces of that life back.
We've celebrated the little victories, cried through the setbacks, prayed through the uncertainty, and watched Ben work harder than most people could ever imagine just to do things we all take for granted.
But here's the part of stroke recovery that people don't always see…
Recovery doesn't stop just because insurance decides it's time to stop paying. 💔 Ben has now exhausted his insurance-covered therapy visits. But his brain is still healing. His body is still fighting. His speech, mobility, and independence still need work. He STILL has so much potential to improve, and the last thing we want is for his progress to be limited because we simply cannot afford the therapy he desperately needs.
We are trying to continue therapy at home, but without insurance coverage, the financial burden is overwhelming.
And to make matters even harder, we are STILL struggling to get Social Security disability benefits. The bills don't stop. The everyday expenses don't stop. And Ben's needs certainly don't stop while we wait for answers.
Kaci has put her own career and so much of her life on hold to be Ben's full-time caregiver. She has taken on responsibilities that most people cannot even begin to understand, all while trying to keep life as normal as possible for her children.
We aren't asking for luxuries. We aren't asking for anything extravagant. We are simply asking for the opportunity to keep Ben moving forward.
We have come too far, fought too hard, and witnessed too many miracles to let finances determine how far Ben can go.
🙏 So today, we are asking for help.
If you feel led to donate, no amount is too small. Every dollar will help us work toward continuing Ben's much-needed therapy at home. If you cannot donate, please SHARE his story. Pray for him. Encourage him. Help us remind him that he is not fighting this battle alone. All donations can be made on the "Go Fund Me" link on this page.
One thing these past nine months have taught us is that life can change in a split second. Tomorrow is never promised, and independence is something we should never take for granted.
Ben survived the stroke. Now we're fighting to give him the best recovery possible. Unfortunately, Kaci has to work and we are looking for professional therapists that would come a couple days a week to work with him at home while she works.
💔 Insurance may have reached its limit, but BEN HAS NOT REACHED HIS. 💪❤️
Please help us keep going. Every donation, every share, and every prayer means more than you will ever know.
❤️
Love when he makes the plans 🥰🥰🥰

Similar stories, just different states. ❤️ We’ve been communicating through social media for months, sharing this crazy stroke journey, encouraging each other, and understanding a life neither of us ever expected.
Today, we finally got to meet in person at a Stroke Support Luncheon! 🥹❤️ There’s just something special about meeting someone who truly gets it. So thankful we finally got this moment! 🫶🏼
TURNING A CHORE INTO THERAPY!!
Today, watering the plants became so much more. 🌱
I had him water each plant to work on his vision and concentration, tell me what he was going to do so he could practice saying the whole phrase correctly, count the bushes AND figure out how to control his wheelchair while holding the water hose. 🧠💪🏼
I stood back and watched him work through every little challenge, and I have to say… I was pretty impressed. 🥹🫶🏼
He may have thought he was just doing a chore, but this mama saw a whole lot of hard work and progress. 💙 One little task at a time!🤘🏼
Can’t turn my head for ONE minute! 🤣 I was pulling weeds, looked back, and there he was—determined to bring the trash can back from the road all by himself. 😂🫶🏼
And don’t judge the house or yard… we’re still renovating over here! 🥴🤦🏼♀️

Our Ben is slowly but surely getting his groove back. 💙 His spirits are up and he’s feeling more like himself, but his body is still reminding him that it’s been through a lot since his hospital stay. He’s been pretty wiped out physically, so we’re giving him plenty of time to rest, recover and catch back up. One day at a time, but we’re definitely headed in the right direction! 🙏🏼❤️

There are some moments you just can’t put into words.
Today, for the first time since January 3rd, I got a message from Ben while I was at work. Seeing his name pop up on my phone made my heart want to explode.
To most, it was just a text. To me, it was a miracle and a reminder of just how far he’s come. 🙌🏻🥹❤️

Progress doesn’t always look the way we expect, and that’s okay.
Physically, this may not have been our biggest week… but mentally, we’re absolutely rockin’ and rollin’!!
At least three times this week, Ben has looked at me with the biggest smile and said, “Hey, I’m starting to remember more.” Little memories are finding their way back. He’s been able to look at certain words and actually read them 🙌🏻. And while aphasia is still part of our journey, his conversations are becoming more fluent every day.
His doctors have been so impressed with his progress that they’ve asked us to come back next week for another CT scan to compare images of his brain from immediately after his stroke to where it is now.
Sometimes the biggest victories can’t be seen, but they definitely mean more to me than the physical ones! 🥹🙌🏻🫶🏼
She’ll roll her eyes before she’ll admit how much she really loves him.😏
She isn’t big on feelings, but somehow he knows them all. 🥰
She acts tough, like she doesn’t need anyone… except him.❤️
The smile she saves for him is one you’ll never see anywhere else!😁
And the day she thought she might lose him, the toughest girl I know completely broke.💔
Some bonds don’t need words. They just exist… and theirs is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever witnessed. 💛💛💛
