Patrick had his surgery yesterday. Dr. Scott did both sides. He was back in his room and awake by 5:00 p.m. Apparently grumpy and tired. Haven't gotten any word yet today, but the most important thing is the surgery is over and he did very well. I'm sure Pat or his Dad will update you all directly as soon as they can, but I just wanted to let you know something right away. Thanks everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. Pat is a very special person and we want him with us for a long, long time. Looks like now we will! Thanks again everyone.
