Since our last letter, the Process Server executed their delivery to Patrick at his care facility. Unfortunately, despite calling and leaving messages for two days straight, and largely due to the mid-week holiday, we were unable to contact Patrick before the server handed him the Guardianship petition. Since we filed that petition immediately after the Joel’s Law petition, it outlines how his health had severely eroded a few weeks ago. We would have preferred to discuss that with him before his review and we were concerned that he may react to it by restricting contact.
The good news is that Patrick called his mother Monday, the 24th of June, to arrange for us to visit this Thursday. On that brief call, he mentioned that he was committing to his treatment. We are so glad. Our desperate hope is that he adopts whatever guidance he receives from his care team and that it pays off in his well being. We look forward to seeing him then and are hopeful for continued improvement in his outlook.
