We're sad to report Patrick has suffered a stroke and is currently in intensive care at WakeMed Raleigh. He is working hard and we are hopeful that he will be able to come off of his ventilator and begin rehab soon but we have a long and difficult process ahead of us. He is surrounded by all eight of his kids and his wife Mary who has hardly left his side since he was admitted. We have received an incredible outpouring of care and support from friends and family that keeps us encouraged.

If you are able to leave a donation here to help support our family with medical, travel, and other miscellaneous expenses, we greatly appreciate it.

We have set up a CaringBridge profile for him which allows us to keep his (MANY!!!) friends updated about his care and condition without having to message individually. You will have to make an account and login in order to view this page. Also note, donations through CaringBridge go to the platform and not the family -- hence, the GoFundMe

.

Please, keep praying hard for him and for all of us here with him.

May Jesus, The Prince of Peace and Mary, Mother of God, and all of his friends and saints in heaven intercede on his behalf.
