Pray for Conrad Klippenstein

Hi everyone, as most of you may have already heard, on Nov. 23 my brother Conrad was on his way home from work and was involved in a motor vehicle accident that has suddenly changed his life.

He was unresponsive at the scene and was airlifted to London Health Science Center where he was diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Conrad suffered broken bones in his leg, a broken ankle, wrist, elbow, ribs and a punctured lung, but the most serious of his injuries was his fractured skull and severe brain trauma. He underwent surgery to have pins and plates put in to fix his broken bones and to remove a portion of his skull to allow his brain to continue to swell without further brain injury.

Conrad was sedated and connected to a ventilator for several days and has had multiple CT scans to monitor his brain bleed and swelling. He is currently off sedation, but other than some small movements he is still unresponsive and follows no commands given.

While we won't know the full extent of his injury until he wakes up more, his doctors have told us to expect him to be hospitalized for several months. He will also need at least one more surgery to re-attach his skull in a few months.

Conrad was married to the love of his life just barely a month ago and this accident was the last thing they could have imagined. All funds will go directly to supporting the couple in this long journey ahead of them as Conrad heals and will most likely need physical therapy and rehabilitation, and to help them with their finances thru this time.

Please continue to pray for Conrad (and his wife Amanda). We have already seen some small improvements and answers to prayer and we give God thanks and praise for that.

Thank you for taking time to read this and feel free to share it.

Matthew 19:26 ...for with God all things are possible.
