Craig’s Story

Site created on July 21, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.  For those of you who have not heard,  Craig is currently in Hinsdale Hospital diagnosed with a brain tumor.  This all started on Monday, 7/19/21. He was getting ready to go to work after returning from football practice.  He was sitting in our office working on the computer when he suffered a seizure.  Zach was upstairs and heard a loud thud.  He came downstairs and Craig was having a seizure on the floor.  Zach then called 911 and then called me.  I luckily was working in Hinsdale and then came home.  I arrived home just as the ambulance was pulling away.  Craig suffered another seizure in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.  When he arrived at the hospital he was taken to CT quickly and an abnormal mass was noted on the CT.  He was then transferred from the ER to the ICU to undergo more testing.

Tribute Video

Journal entry by Kristen Kruse —

I wanted to upload the tribute video that was shown at the fundraiser for everyone who wanted to see it again or who was not able to attend the fundraiser.  It is around 18 minutes long.  

Boots On!
