To all of Pat's followers, thanks -
Here is a Pat Post, for follow up of how she is doing.
We have been home now since June 22. I personally am totally impressed with Pat's determination to get better as fast as possible. After a visit to the ED (emergency room), and a brief admission for an abdominal fluid collection and infection, for which Pat got another drain, and some antibiotics, she has been doing okay. She had to be on additional antibiotics, and manage two drains for a while, but on July 23 she was doing well and had her second drain removed and she feels much better. So now we are waiting for drain #1, as we affectionately call it, to stop draining.
Pat's in good spirits and back into the routine of having grandgirls visit (oh, those girls are as busy as ever!) and getting herself ready to do work for the community (the food truck and church) and getting out and about in general. She was most excited about getting back behind the wheel and driving again (necessitated by her husband and work, and that we temporarily were down to one car). I have to say, Pat always rises to the challenge, putting all her energy into making things work and making things better. She is amazing.
That's our update, other than the fact that Greg had oodles of fun on July 4 shooting off fireworks (safely, of course.).

Hello to all Pat's followers!
It has been a little while since our last post, and lots has happened.
Pat had a little complication of surgery, in the form of a fluid collection in the wound that had to be drained at the hospital (Butterworth hospital). This was done with a little sedation and a couple of days in the hospital. Pat as of today has 2 drains (this is what we call the 'drain report'). But, both of these drains are having very little out and just maybe they will be coming out soon.
Pat is in good spirits and doing everything she can do to get better, and I believe she will. She has that big Pat smile and she is meeting every challenge head-on.
We'll let you know what happens, but so far things are looking good. The next few weeks should tell.
Best wishes to all, and thanks for your comments,
Greg
