Here is the latest directly from Rich:
This morning is the third surgery in 19 days. Left eye surgery is scheduled to begin at 7:00am at Mease Dunedin Hospital, Dr. Morgan, technically as an outpatient procedure. It should result in improved vision and better/tighter closing at night. They will also remove the staples from my neck!God is teaching me a lot about submission, what He values most and trusting in Him alone.Thankfully, my family and I have been blessed by generous support from our friends/family at Digital Lightbridge, church and throughout our community. Thank you seems inadequate, but thank you all! Your notes, calls, visits, food and flowers are a HUGE encouragement to the entire Hayes family. We’ll try to update again post-op and before radiation begins. Ironically, my surgery wants me to gain about 15lbs. I’ve lost 60lbs. intentionally. Ice cream, sweet tea, oatmeal cookies and sushi here I come. No rabbit food for awhile!Love, Rich
I’ll leave it at that… Press On!
I wish someone would tell me I had to gain 15 lbs!! I would have no problem accomplishing that!!!
Rich … our entire staff at the Pocket Testament League prayed for you today on our weekly Monday Morning Prayer Call!
I have 15 lbs (and then some) to give if there is a donor program for that 🙂
Rich, Lisa and boys you are in our prayers constantly. You are a beautiful example of a how GOD works in our lives when we put our faith and trust in Him. All our love.
Dear Rich-
Please know how much you have been in my prayers lately. I consider you one of my mentors both from a business standpoint and more importantly from a God standpoint. You are one of the Godliest men I know. Your example to me and to all who come in contact with you is something to be strived for. Both me and wife along with our small group are praying for you and your family. Harper and I will are going to get together this week for Rich Hayes prayer lunch. Even though you won’t be there this time we know sometime very soon you will be. We can’t wait!
Take care my friend. Press on!!
In Him,
dave

Dear Rich and Lisa,
