Tena asked me to update everyone on how Pat is doing since his surgery. The day after his surgery the nurse said his vital signs were good and he was doing well. They told her he got moved to "step down" at the hospital. His trach is back to being capped off and it should come out soon. When the step down nurse called, they put Pat on the phone and they talked.

She is leaving early in the morning to visit him. INOVA called the case worker today and they do want Pat in their program, so she is going to tour the facility on Friday.

She wanted me to thank everyone for your continued prayers for Pat. It means so very much to her.
