Flowers, gifts, and visitors

Hi everyone,

I've gotten several questions regarding flowers, gifts, and visiting, so I thought it would be best to post here.

Pat is in ICU right now, so her room isn't conducive to storing items outside of the medical equipment. So for now, until she is upgraded to a different status and moved to a regular room, please hold off on sending flowers and gifts to the hospital. However, if you want to send something to her home just to show your support, please email me and I will send you her home address where Mommy can receive them.

Also, because the doctors are still performing operations and she is still being observed and tested, we are asking that only immediate family visit with her now. Again, the unit she is in doesn't really lend to having many visitors/gifts at this time. The doctors are also keeping her under sedation so that she may rest as much as possible over these next critical days so they can make sure they have secured the aneurysm.

Once her status has been upgraded and out of the woods somewhat, I will let all of you all know and give you information on the best time to start visiting her. The doctors did inform us she will be in the hospital at least 3 weeks, so she will need a lot of visitors during those weeks.

For now, please leave as many comments on this page as you would like, so she can read them once she is off sedation.

Thank you again for all the love and support you are showing our mother, daughter, and sister.


With Love,

Nikki
