Patti will be flown via helicopter to Cleveland on August 1, 2006. "Aunt Sally" is on her way to Cleveland now to try to get there before Patti arrives.

The reason for the quick transportation to Cleveland is because of the bleeding in Patti's lungs. Dr. Sexton has fused the bleeders before, but he does not want to do it this time as it may not be enough. He wants the doctors in Cleveland to take over. Both the doctors here in NY (Dr. Sexton) and the doctors in Cleveland have discussed this and are in agreement that Patti needs to be in Cleveland. What will happen when she gets there is still unknown.

A lot of people were with her tonight at the hospital, Muff and Brady, her mom and siblings, Dale & Gina (Muff's parents), and Sarah (caretaker of Brady right now while Muff is at work). Patti is very scared. Please continue to pray and postings will happen as quickly as information is available.
