Tad's brain cancer battle fund

Donation protected

As most of you Know Tad was rushed to the hospital last Saturday after he started having seizures early in the morning. after some test were run the doctors there decided he needed to be transferred to Geisinger hospital in Danville Pa which is over 2 hours away. Once at Geisinger Tad was admitted to the neuro ICU where he was sedated and placed on a ventilator until they could determine what all was going on. After more testing it was confirmed Tad has a brain tumor. Further testing revealed it is a large cancerous tumor. Yesterday he was weaned off the sedation and ventilator to see how his body was responding and to make the determinization for course of care. The seizures have stopped, and the specialist will meet this week to make a final plan. Some options on the table so far include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. As you can tell this will be a long rough road that Tad and Kelly are facing. Kelly has been and will be staying at the hospital with Tad for the course of his care and it is unforeseen when she may be able to return to work. It is also unclear if Tad will ever be able to work again. With that all being said I’m asking the help of our amazing community to rally behind Kelly and Tad and help ease some of the financial burden that comes with all of this. If you are unable to donate at this time, please just continue to keep them in your prayers which is just as important. Also please share to get the word out to others who may be able to help this wonderful couple out. There will also be a benefit planned in the near future.  Thank you all in advance and the family greatly appreciates all your help and prayers.
