Update on Pat
Yesteday the home health nurse came by David's and did a two hour intake consult with Pat. Other members of that team will be setting up appointments soon. Pat is getting around well. Still a little weak but in good spirits. I am so proud of how well she has doing! Speaking of proud, I am proud of Heather for setting up this family blog. Good work, Heather. I hope all the family will use it. Love to all.

Pat update, and it's a doozy!
I have a Pat update!
Pat got a TON of good news today. First of all, her lungs continue to improve and get stronger. She took two laps around the 6th floor today and did great.
Dr. Cox, Pat's surgeon, came to visit this morning and left a very popular man with Pat and Jan. He told them that the pathology report came back negative. That means that he believes there was no cancer left behind that wasn't removed from the surgery. This takes Pat from stage 4 to stage 2 with special circumstances, those circumstances being that it had spread to other areas, but it was localized. He doesn't believe that the cancer entered the lymph nodes. Three cheers for this fabulous news!!!!!
Lastly, but certainly not least, PAT'S LEAVING THE HOSPITAL TODAY!!!! She gets to go home! Her job is now to rest and gain her strength. Pat will be visiting Dr. Cox in 3 weeks, and he will refer her to an Oncologist who may or may not recommend further treatment.
It's a very happy day in the world of Pat right now. I for one am super relieved and feel truly blessed. We love you Pat!

Welcome to your blog!
Hi Family! Welcome to our family blog! This was created in hopes that it will fix the communication dysfunction that we all seem to struggle with. :) Creating a blog or website was the final choice since we don't all have Twitter or Facebook accounts. This way no one is left out.
I'd like to add all of you as contributors to this blog so that all branches of the family can post updates, milestones, pictures, etc. If this blog proves to be less than cooperative with multiple contributors, then I have a website waiting in the wings for us to use. That way each branch can have their own page.
But for now, please send me your email address so I can add you as a contributor. Or you can post from your mobile phone by giving me your number. There's a Blogger app. You can send me the info by commenting to this post.
Love you guys!!!
