It has been a very bad day indeed. Just got the computer back up and running from its' trip to Ohio this past weekend. I thought that Pat looked pretty good on Sunday when I saw him and his spirits were certainly good. I talked with him briefly on Tues. evening right after he got home and Karen and the boys were in town picking up his meds. He said then that he was tired and was surprised how tired he felt after all that time in bed at the hospital. I wished him well, gave him my love and then got the call from Mike at 7 this am saying that Pat was back at the hospital. I have not talked with Karen today but she did talk with Karolyn, her sister, and Karolyn says that Karen sounded very frazzled and so very tired. It is very hard to be so far away when she and Pat and the boys are going through such a terrible time. It is, however, a great comfort to get on the "cat" and know that we are not alone here in Atlanta worrying and wondering what lies in store, but that we have so many cats with us. Mick, Katlaughing, Sandy et. al....Thank you. By the way, Sandy, when I was at the hospital with Pat on Sunday, he had me listen to you singing "When you and I were Young Maggie". He said that it made him cry, it was so beautiful. I listened and concur. I remember my father singing that to my mom in our kitchen at hom. A truly beautiful CD, Sandy that has given and will continue to give Pat great pleasure.

Connie, thankyou for being there for Karen and Pat and the boys. I would love to call you but seem to have misplaced your number. It is so very hard to be so very far away. Thank you again to you all........Clarence, Pat's Maw-in-law.
