Day Three

Pat has just finished day 3 of this round and he's doing great. Right now he's enjoying a turkey sandwich from home and watching the Angel game. If there were not tests to say otherwise you couldn't convince me that this man is battling a serious disease. His strength and perseverance is unstoppable and so inspiring. Last week he was unable to make it from his to bed to the restroom and today he has done 2 laps around his unit, and just informed me he wants to walk some more. The power of prayer, love and the human spirit is immeasurable and we have all of you to thank. Heroes don't just hit home runs and make blockbuster movies.....they walk these halls and the halls of every hospital. Doctors, nurses, family members and most of all the patients who know all to well how precious life truly is. Pray for Pat's continued recovery and remission and treasure your own good health.
Love,
Julie

Hi Pat,

I wanted to drop you a note to let you know my Prayers are with you and your Family. Although I don't know you well, I always admire people with great courage and determination. Meeting and talking with your Son Brady and how he carries himself reflects what a great Dad you are. As a Father of 5 myself, I admire that the most.

Blessings and Prayers,

Dan Smith and Family

I asked Nolan this morning what he wanted to say to his uncle pat and he said "I miss you and thankyou Mr. Pat." Gavin is shy and says nothing. We are sooooo glad your feeling better. It probably feels good to get up and walk around. Keep up the great work on getting better and stronger! We love you!
Kim, Gavin & Nolan
