I got an update on Patrick last night. He was released from the hospital Thursday. He's feeling good and is in great spirits.
His high school football team, on which he was a kicker, is playing hte state championship game this weekend in Louisville. When his doctor told he he was releasing him, he told him there were a few conditions.
"You have to go to that game," he said, "and you have to take a picture of yourself at the game wearing your jersey."
His friends recently brought him a big bag full of 24 small, wrapped presents and told him he was allowed to open one a day until Christmas. How cool is that?
Patrick's attitude and maturity throughout this has been so impressive. Last night he told his mother, "This is how it was supposed to be. This is a road I have to take."

Patrick does not cease to amaze me with his maturity through all of this...plus his friends...he has the best friends in the world.
I'm glad to hear he is fighting this tooth and nail.

Patrick certainly is an inspiration.
I admire his spirit and his friends' support.
With the attitude he has, half the battle is already won.
We can learn a lot from someone like him.

Glad to hear Patrick is feeling well. He sounds like an amazing kid. And it sounds like he's got a great doctor who really cares about him from an emotional standpoint as well as from a medical one...that's a rare find.
He's got some great friends, too. And his attitude about this challenge is just amazing.
Keep us posted!
