Road to Recovery out of Fleeting Darkness - Chris Stephenson Stroke

Hey Friends, Whanau and Community, this is not something I had ever thought I would need to do in my lifetime and I don't know where to start or what to say but here we are. On the 13th of October Chris my husband had a stroke due to the medical treatment he received when being treated for Pneumonia he has been left with permanent brain damage. Chris is only 35, it has turned our lives upside down thank fully over the last 3 weeks he has shown improvement but has months of rehabilitation left ahead of him as he has to learn to speak, write and read again. He tried to explain to me what it was like when it happened that it felt like fleeting darkness was taking over him, that he knows what he should be saying in his head but it doesn't come out right . Thanks to Covid we are left without insurance having had to cancel everything when he was made redundant. Chris had managed to obtain a new job but had only been there for 4 months so not entitled to any type of leave, we were due to talk about all this stuff in November when the Mortgage came of its fixed period now it is too late. We have been told that he may be successful for ACC but since this is a treatment injury it is not an instant process and can take between 5-9 months, we also have 2 small children aged 5 and 9 who are trying to work out life and why there daddy is not there it has been especially hard for my son who has Autism and ADHD. We are stuck, we have a hefty mortgage, loans and just feel like our hopes and dreams have been destroyed I am trying to hold the household together it means that I also have to work to make sure we have a home to come back to rather then taking the time to help Chris recover.
