This is worrisome, missing a dialysis treatment has lots of complications one of which is cerebrovascular and puts the person at a higher risk of stroke.

Honestly- if he is on dialysis and this is Day #12 without it there is very little chance he is alive.

Agreed - I was thinking he may have had a cerebrovascular event not long after he went missing and he or his vehicle is off road somewhere. I do hope they find him. I have a friend on dialysis (kidney failure after cancer) and he has to go three times a week.

This is wonderful news. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t believe it would end in such a positive way, especially with him needing dialysis.

Missing Oklahoma Man Found Alive 3 Weeks After Disappearance

This helps answer my dialysis question!
Someone was looking out for him that day. Thank you Lord!

Ronald Rea contacted family from a Fort Worth nursing home.

According to family members, Ronnie Rea was hospitalized days after he was first reported missing on May 3.

Police said someone found him unconscious. But no one knew he need dialysis treatments for weeks.
According to police, while investigators feared the worst as weeks went by, he had been in good hands after an unknown person found him unconscious in an apartment in Fort Worth, Texas.
Since then, he had been receiving medical care.

Rea is in a nursing home and his family may not be able to see him because of COVID-19 precaution

According to this article, police are still investigating other circumstances around his disappearance.

Ronald Rea was safely found. However, his daughter and police are still working to connect the dots.
Now, the search continues for Rea's Jeep, his cell phone, and the money emptied from his bank account.
“Fort Worth Police Department was able to pull that footage and confirm that it was not my dad that had made that transaction or had used his card for that transaction rather,” said Rea’s daughter.
