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.).
