Thanks so much for your concern. Our friends set up the account at Wells Fargo; here is the info they say you will need. I understand you can go to any bank and give this info. “For everyone who is interested in or having issues with sending money to the Wells Fargo donation account set up for Pat, please go to your local branch and give this information: Patrick Garcia, Santa Fe, Sherry and Frank Garcia.” I’m not considering Paypal at this time, but thanks for the suggestion. I must thank you all again for the prayers, positive thoughts, SDMB chants, and all the other nice things you are doing! ---

I would like to send this guy a special gift - not a card, something larger. Is there an address I can send this to? It might be too large for a P.O. box. PM me if you want; let me know how I can ship it. ---

Being of a vent is excellent news! Next time you want to give him a manicure, try some really girly nail polish! That should help jolt him awake! ( Maybe in his team rugby colors! But, you have to remember he will be picking out your nursing home one day, so maybe not.) Thank you very much for the updates! ---

> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > It might be too large for a P.O. box. If I recieve a large box at my P.O. Box address, I get a little card in the box saying to come to the counter to pick it up. So, that shouldn’t be a problem. 🙂 ---

Santo, when you come back and read this thread, note that we’re expecting lots of raunchy tales about you and those hot, hot night-shift nurses. 😉 When he’s awake, let him know that **dotchan** wants him to hurry up and get well so we can lynch him for lurking. 😃 ---

Thank you for taking the time to update us, it really means a lot. It’s great to hear that Santo is making progress hopefully he’ll be back posting soon. We need to try a time a mafia game for Santo’s return because Santo is going to have a bunch of free time to devote to a game. ---

It’s good to hear he is getting better all the time and thank you for the updates. He’s going to be bored in a hospital, we may need two or three games to keep him occupied. 🙂 ---

I’m sure he’d like that.
