Idaho Cowboys - Tough as Nails

Three weeks ago our nephew Hatcher went in for his 4th open heart surgery at Stanford University, Lucile Packard Hospital.  After Dr. Reddy and his staff worked their magic and closed up Hatcher's chest, there were some unforseen complications which required them to have to go back in and re-open his chest so they could get things stabilized.  He had a tough go of it for a number of days, but we have come to learn that the toughest cowboys come from Idaho.  Our cowboy drew a tough bull to ride, but he has been a warrior and hung in there through some rough days initially and is now making great progress as he continues to recover and get his strength back.  We love you Hatcher, keep riding that bull, buddy!
