Congressman's son being treated for tumor

Patrick Young, the 21-year-old son of Rep. C.W. Bill Young, is being treated for a tumor behind one of his lungs.

Rep. Young said the family was awaiting test results before doctors try to remove the tumor. He said his son is on blood pressure medicine to reduce the chances of complications when it is removed.

The congressman said he is optimistic about Patrick's recovery. "He'll be fine," Young said. "We'll get through this."

There was a reason you ended up in the ER with that oysters shell hanging out of your foot! It was actually a blessing. Your young and tough, you'll breeze through this. Good luck Buddy.

My prayers are with you and your family. What a blessing the oyster was, after all. Stay focused on health and know God is with you all. You are on many prayer lists and all are heard.

Dearest Patty -
Your honorary grandfather Michael wishes he were healthy enough to come visit you while you await test results and thereafter while you heal. But he knows that you are in the hands of the best, finest, most loving family he's ever been blessed to know, sends you all of his love and can't wait to tell you more of his outrageous stories, not all of which you should believe!
Love from all of us.
