Molly Conrad

Hello, My name is Molly Conrad. I had a very bad accident when I was 6 years old. This is my story, one day I was outside playing with one of those BIC lighters back in the 1980’s when I got burned. I got burned playing with it and it caught my clothes on fire. My mom tried to get it out but she also burned her hands. I can’t really remember much of the accident because it was so bad, but I am telling you what pain is in my story.
I lived in Riley’s Children’s Hospital for a year and a half. I died on the surgery table three times, but God brought me back.
 
I have had 250 surgeries, I am now 34 years old!
 
I also went to Chicago for children, they couldn’t help because it was for bones. So I got into Schriener’s which really helped me a lot. So then I went to Cincinnati, OH to the burn hospital, which is Schreiner’s Burn International Hospital. I was there for 17 years.
 
I have been through so much pain it had been unreal for what I have been through. Its not fun but I hade it with Gods help, friends and family. I have seen so many doctors, had skin grafts, stitches and staples, I’ve had it all. The worst pain I have ever felt was the skin grafts, for those of you who don’t know that is where they take a portion of skin and replace it on a separate part of the body.
 
That is pain. Then my back began to ache with pain and I couldn’t tolerate it, until one day an angel sent me Dr. Ungar.
 
He is a really great doctor. He has eliminated almost all of my back pain, but I still feel a little, Its not nearly as bad as it was before he began to treat me.
