Buttonwood Motel and Restaurant Opening Update

 

Buttonwood Motel and Restaurant

 While we were in the final preparations to get the restaurant open, we had an emergency with Cooper. We had to put the restaurant focus on hold so we could focus on what was best for him. With that being said he had surgery this morning and a tumor was removed from an area between the esophagus and stomach. It was in a difficult location and they do not know if they were able to get it all. They feel confident that that was the cause of his internal bleeding and are hoping the blood count can start to come up again. We are awaiting the results of the biopsy to see what we will need to do next. He is going to have a rough road to recovery. We will be opening the restaurant soon but hours may be limited for a few weeks so we can help him recover and get the staff trained. 
I hope you all understand the delay in opening.
