On Saturday, July 1st, Thaddeus went to the urgent care for back pain that resulted from a previous injury. While there,they told him to just head home and someone would call him Monday. By Sunday he had lost feeling in his lower extremities. Leah and Thaddeus went to the emergency room where he was immediately taken back for a 2 hour emergency surgery. The doctors have given him a 50 percent chance that he will regain feeling and have told him he'll be out of work for at least one month. Leah and Thaddeus are expecting a little boy in August. You can imagine the stress of being out of work while still preparing for a new baby. Thaddeus is one of the most caring, kind - hearted, giving people I know. I can't think of anyone more deserving of help in their time of need. Thank you!
