March 1, 2008 - Evening

Rhonda Writes-
Eric now has the chest tube in. Its tiny. They're calling it a "test" tube. Some new, exciting technology. He has more tubes now than the medical law should allow. He's in pain but they're giving him good drugs. He's starting to get pretty frustrated that he can't communicate. Slight nods and holding up a finger or two just isn't cutting it anymore. He's just tired---tired of laying in that bed, tired of the ventilator, tired of the restraints. I see his spirit returning in his eyes though. It gives me reassurance that he's going to be alright. I showed him pictures of Garrett and Erica that our friend Amy took of them today and he tried to smile. I know he misses them and they REALLY miss him. Keep the prayers coming. I know God is answering them. His will---that's what I pray for as hard as it may be at times. Eric has a purpose or he wouldn't have made it this far. I can't wait to see what evolves from this. Our faith has been tested yet at the same time its drawing us closer to Him and to each other.
