IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says his
son’s surgery to remove a thyroid tumor went as planned and he was
flying back from Iowa City to Dayton to coach the Hawkeyes in the NCAA
tournament on Wednesday night.
McCaffery says his son Patrick, who
turns 14 on Thursday, was in "good spirits" after the operation.
Doctors will continue with tests in the coming days to determine further
treatment.
McCaffery flew with the Hawkeyes to Dayton on Monday
to prepare for their First Four matchup with fellow No. 11 seed
Tennessee. He returned to the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics
to be with his family for Wednesday’s procedure.
McCaffery says the outpouring of support and encouragement from the public has been
"overwhelming."
