Remembering Reynolds
As you may or may not know, our dad passed away on Saturday, September 12th 2020 due to the coronavirus. His symptoms started on Saturday, September 5th and he was admitted to Henderson Hospital in Nebraska where he was tested for Covid-19 and prescribed some medication. On Wednesday, September 9th the symptoms had worsened and He went back to the hospital. His test had came back positive and he was transferred around 5 p.m. to Bryan Medical in Lincoln Nebraska (larger hospital better equipped and has a Covid floor). All the news that we had been given from the Nurses and Doctors throughout the rest of the week was that he was improving but still needing oxygen through a Bipap Machine. We were unable to FaceTime or talk to our Dad directly once he was admitted on September 5th.
On Saturday, September 12th 2020 Our Dad was moved to the ICU unit because his breathing could not be regulated. The pulmonologist decided he needed the ventilator and medicine to calm him down, slow his breathing and heart at 9:20 P.M. His heart stopped around 11:00 PM, he no longer had a pulse. The doctors & Nurses gave him CPR and could not revive him. He was only 55 years old when he passed away.
Our Dad was cremated in Lincoln, Nebraska on September 18th at 9 a.m. surrounded by us (Chad, Chase & Katie). We spent the last couple days in Nebraska beginning the process of closing his life there and giving as much love and comfort to our little 7 year old sister, Keira. Our Dads death has left us all devastated, confused & heartbroken. We loved our Dad so much. He never met a stranger and always had a smile on his face.
