Journal entry by Julia Watkins —
Dear friends and family,
As most of you know the Ragan family is going through a very tough time. In October, Patrick was diagnosed with a grade 4 malignant brain tumor. Due to the location of the tumor his surgeons cannot safely operate. They have started him on 6 weeks of radiation therapy followed by chemotherapy. After this initial treatment they will follow up with him in order to see how effective this treatment was. Of course there are still many unanswered questions and much more to learn about his actual diagnoses and prognosis. Rachael is being extremely strong and staying positive and supportive of Patrick and their family. I wanted to start this page in order to keep their loved ones informed with accurate and new information as it becomes available. Please keep Patrick and their families in your prayers as they have a tough battle to fight moving forward. We all know Patrick and Rachael are two of the best people God put on this earth and they will persevere no matter what. Thank you.
