Hello everyone,

I just wanted to give you a quick update on Pat....

She's finally been in a more stable condition and the doctors have started to reduce some of the heavier medications she was on (e.g. sedation meds). She is still very much in the recovery process, but is able to recognize guests and talk minimally (it's a low whisper right now).

She will be having another procedure next week, so visitation will be restricted a couple of days so she can rest. After, she will be reevaluated by the doctors to start looking at rehabilitation centers.

We still aren't sure when she'll be home or what type of rehab is needed quite yet. Once we find out, we will inform everyone.

I want to thank everyone again for the prayers and offers of help. Again, once we have more information about the next steps, we'll be better able to gage what type of help is needed.

Oh, one last thing. One of Pat's colleagues - Wallene Bullard has set up a donation fund for Pat for those of you who would like to give something during this time. The link for the donation page is below:
