Pat is back home and doing well. Thank you for your prayers. She can have visitors after 3:00 p.m. daily. We love you Pat!

Pat is in ICU at Mountain View Hospital. She had a hard time breathing last night and the doctor has discovered at least two blood clots in her lungs. She cannot receive visitors right now. They have given her medication to dissolve the clots and now she must play the waiting game. Please pray for her. I will update her progress as I receive it.

Talked to Pat this morning. She sounded wonderful! She said she would love to have phone calls and visitors now after 2:00 p.m. That gives her time to get through physical therapy and rest a bit. Physically she is still struggling but emotionally she is her positive, happy self. Love you Pat!

As we all know, Pat is home and doing fairly well. She is actually receiving antibiotics at home so she doesn't have to go to the hospital for that treatment every day. It was wonderful to see her at Sacrament Meeting last Sunday. Our ward feels whole again. We love you Pat!

Talked to Pat tonight. She was at Coldstone with her family. She is feeling better and is home again. She will need to go daily to the hospital for IV antibiotics for several weeks. Pat said her mother and sisters will be helping her. I will twist her arm a bit and hopefully she will let her friends help her too. You all know Pat. Always the giver. Having a hard time learning to receive.
I LOVE YOU, PAT!

Pat had to be admitted back into the hospital on Sunday. She had a reaction to the antibiotic she was on. She is doing well now though and should be home Wednesday. We love and miss you, Pat!

Keri Minson just visited with Pat and Pat asked her to call me with info to update the blog so we know she is doing well. Pat's inscision was opened up and cleaned out yesterday. She is doing well and will probably be home Thursday. She will have to go in weekly for antibiotic treatments.
Her husband has requested no visitors until her family gets her home and on a schedule. I will let you know when I get the okay for visitors from her husband.

I am sad to report that Pat has had a minor set back. She has an infection and her doctor thinks it may be on the hardware they put in her back. They will have to open up the inscision and clean it out. Please do not visit or call her until we get the go ahead from her husband as she will need a few days to recover from the anesthesia required for the surgery. Your faith and prayers are what she needs most. I will let you know how she is doing as soon as I get word.

Barring any unforseen problems, Pat will be home on Wednesday!
Anyone visiting her at the hospital between now and then and when she gets home, please use hand sanitizer right before and after your visit. Just a kind precaution, for you as well as Pat,
as she has a small infection on her hand. Thank you!
