As most of you close to us know Chad has had a very rough last year. He most recently went back to work after being out for 6 months recovering from open heart and stomach surgery that saved his life. Chad just went back to work at the beginning of February and was excited to get back to a normal life. While at work he became very pale and was rushed to the emergency room by his coworkers and boss. When he was finally seen they did a scan on his stomach. It was not looking good the surgeon told us he had a very slim chance of surviving surgery. By the grace of God the surgery went as well as it could but Chad will once again be out of work to heal. They had to take a big portion of his small bowel because it was dying off. They hope he heals and will recover but that's not to say it won't happen again in the future. Our life together will be forever changed and I am blessed every day I get with Chad. This being the 3rd major surgery he has had we are very fortunate to have made it without any help. But being off work for so long has definitely put a financial strain and medical bills continue to accumulate. I know Chad has helped many people in his life and he is never one to ask for anything. So I am making this to maybe relief some stress from him. Please keep us in your thoughts.
