Their story resonates with people around the world, reminding us all to cherish every moment, embrace challenges with strength and grace, and value the true connections we make with each other.
Loren Schauers of Montana, who underwent a hemicorporectomy (amputation of all parts of his body below the waist) after a catastrophic forklift accident, described his ongoing battle with the infection as an inspiring display of resilience.
After an accident in September 2019, the brave man had three limbs amputated and has been documenting his recovery ever since.
Living in Great Falls, Montana, Loren is supported by his devoted wife, Sabia Schauers-Reiche, and shares his experiences of living with a disability.
However, a recent post on social media shows a new problem: he was admitted to the hospital with a kidney infection.
In a recent Instagram story, Loren addressed his predicament and advised him to “drink water like no one else in life,” The Mirror reports. Despite the nephritis and my body passing the kidney stone, I still have to be taken to the ER. Why does everything have to have a catch?
This unexpected defeat comes after an update from Sabia last month that said Loren was in “significant pain”. She wrote: “Just our Sunday check-in with you all,” in a message on social media. Unfortunately, Loren is not having a good day; he is experiencing a lot of discomfort, so there is no photo of him today. Being the extraordinary man that he is, he fights it all. Not every day can be great and wonderful, but he does his best. We admire each and every one of you.
Despite the difficulties, Loren constantly shows her immense strength. He can be seen swimming with Sabia in a recent video while supported by an inflatable ring. With only one fully functional arm, navigating underwater can be risky for Loren, as the ring’s unexpected slippage showed.
Unfortunately, the pair have been targeted by scammers on social media, although their story continues to motivate and gain support. There are fake accounts trying to get money in their name. However, the couple was able to close those accounts and still appreciate the sincere help they receive.
This month, they praised their fans for helping them deal with fake accounts in an official statement, adding: “As a few of you may have noticed at this point, it seems we got a little too excited about taking down the fake account. I imagine many of you may still see the fake page, so if you want to keep reporting and posting until you get banned too, please do.
Loren and Sabia touched the hearts of many and demonstrated the power of love, courage, and authenticity.
As Loren’s recovery continues, it’s clear that he and Sabia will face whatever comes their way with unwavering determination and the support of a huge community that will rally behind them. Their story serves as a beacon of hope and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
We wish Loren Schauers continued strength and healing on his journey and applaud Sabia Schauers-Reiche for her unwavering love and support. May their story continue to inspire and uplift those who follow their remarkable journey.
