In response to a text sent her earlier today from nurse niece Jen, Pat texted back…

Thanks Jen. I only got bits and pieces of your text, but I got the gist of it. Was trying to send an email to update everyone but couldn’t. Was anxious about coming to MN, but now that we’re here, everything is good. Mayo Clinic is pretty amazing and impressive. Was there from 8 a.m. to almost 5 p.m.! After consulting with doc, did more tests…nothing invasive, just blood & urine. Doc here and at home are encouraged by my numbers and think I’m a good candidate for transplant. Follow up appt tomorrow. Also met with a social worker to go over psycho part of this whole ordeal. He and a nurse went into more detail about what actually happens during transplant. I’ll try to get an email out…in the meantime can you let everyone know we’re doing okay? Thanks again for checking in. Love you.

…hugs, jen…for updating pat’s network of supporters…
