A roller coaster has begun for Conrad, my best friend Cindy, and their family. Conrad was scheduled to have a 3 centimeter tumor removed from his lower esophagus on Monday, March 18th. They were anticipating the surgery to be about 3-4 hours long with a 4-5 day hospital stay, however, the surgery turned into a 5 hour major surgery. The tumor ended up being 7 centimeters long. It was as wide as a clam and wrapped around his lower esophagus. This changed everything. Conrad’s medical condition has been up and down drastically with unexpected turns. He’s been in excruciating pain and is needing around the clock medical attention. Cindy has been commuting back and forth to Gainesville daily to be with Conrad. The doctor anticipates that Conrad could be in the hospital for a few more weeks and out of work for approximately 3 months. This situation has been a major setback for their family to say the least. We know God is in control and is with them in this situation. We are asking for your prayers and if at all possible, a financial donation. Their family and I are incredibly grateful for your support!
