Hans Schuler’s journey with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) began when a bout of winter pneumonia resulted in a 40 day hospitalization. He was placed on oxygen and was later diagnosed with PF. He found peace of mind by developing a deeper understanding of the disease and its progression.
In order to support Hans’ wishes and quality of life, Erin and Dan found in-home care, which allowed their dad to stay on the farm, and gave him quality time with his grandchildren.
Hans worked hard to build a successful farm he could pass on in the future, his incredible work ethic left a lasting impression. He was a man who persevered, taking on all life’s challenges and never letting them slow him down.
We celebrate Hans Schuler and thank Dan and Erin for sharing their father’s pulmonary fibrosis journey. If you or someone you love is experiencing breathing difficulties talk to your doctor.
