Brad was diagnosed with a large brain tumor on July 10th. He had a successful surgery to remove it. However, he has had several setbacks...collapsed lung, pneumonia and improper drainage of brain fluid. We are thankful for the healing of all of those! He has limited sight and motion on the right side of his face. We are praying as brain healing continues it will improve. When he can be dismissed from the hospital, he will have 6 weeks of radiation to shrink the portion of the tumor the doctors were not able to safely remove. Brad is the sole supporter of his family and has no idea when he will be able to return to his welding career.. We all know life goes on when we cannot. His wife, Amber (my daughter) returned to her job on August 1st. to try to get back into a normal routine. Both of them are very humble when it comes to asking for help. That is where I come in! Many of you have asked how you can help. Well, this is it. All contributions will be used for bills to offset the salary that Brad cannot provide at this time. Amber will have to take Brad to his radiation treatments, which is a 60 mile round trip Monday-Friday for 6 weeks. Let me thank you in advance! Your love for my children has been overwhelming. I pray that we, as a family, will be able to pay it forward some day. May God richly bless each of you!
