About Randy Tuck:
|
As many of you know Randy Tuck ( full time, self-employed, farrier and Equine flexion and massage therapist), was recently involved in a bad horse accident that led to him sustaining compound fractures of his Tibia and Fibula in his right leg. This injury required surgery to reset the bones and pin them back into place. We thank God the surgery went well and he is now home to heal. But the Dr. says it will be 6-8 weeks before Randy can walk and several months after that before he can even consider going back to work.
Because Randy is self-employed and relies on his body to perform his job; this injury has completely stopped him from being able to bring in the finances needed to pay for the medical bills of the hospitalization, surgery, future Dr. visits and overall finances needed to support himself and his family. And since Randy is not the type of person that will ask for help we are here asking for him! |
Here is what he needs:
1) Your prayers for a quick, pain free, TOTAL healing that is so quick that even the Dr.'s have to admit it is a miracle :) Along with prayers of strength and God filled guidance for his family while they care for Randy.
2) Financial support! With Randy out of work and unable to create income to pay medical expenses and over all daily living; he needs our help until he gets back on his feet and back to work.
3) Food, transport to and from Dr. appointments, and even help caring for animals or getting ready for the winter months that are quickly approaching (like cutting and splitting wood for the fire place).

Update on Randy: 11/28/16
From his Daughter:
Time for an update! We are now following up with the wound care clinic and orthopedic doctor every other week, on opposite weeks. The wound, still being the main concern, is healing, just slowly. However, no infection brewing so Hallelujah! This last doctor appointment with the orthopedic doctor went extremely well, with the doctor seeming in shock at how well everything is looking. He said he has patients that are 5 months out from an injury like this and still having extremely tender area whereas dad doesn’t seem to have those spots. He still has pain of course (who wouldn’t when a bone broke out of the skin?!) but as you know, he’s a tough cowboy The timeline remains the same as far as weight bearing and returning back to shoeing horses but we were already prepared for this. We would much rather be safe than to jump the gun and have a setback even longer. We are still so blessed by visitors, meals and fundraising to assist with the medical bills and regular bills with dad being out of work. We had a great Thanksgiving and are so glad to be able enjoy time with dad! We are so thankful for everyone and all thier amazing outpouring of support, love, and giving! This has made for a Thanksgiving of being able to see and feel the amazing blessing of God and all of our supporters! We pray everyone else had an Happy and blessed Thanksgiving also!
We look forward to the day when Dad is able to get back out and about and thank each and every one face to face!----Tory
