Rhonda Writes -
Eric's been in good spirits today! He had a fever again this morning but for once. Tylenol did the trick. The PT had him up again in a recliner for a while. Tom's wife Stephanie came up to the ICU today disguised as a hairdresser and gave Eric a good buzz. His hair was sooo long. I knew it had to be driving my clean cut husband nuts. He's looks like he's back in basic training again. :)
His Mom and I are with him now doting on him. He's eating it up---or at least that's what we're telling ourselves. His blood pressure is still giving the nurses some grief but all in all he is making it through the weekend without any major issues. That's all we can ask for. I had another lesson in nursing today learning more techniques with the trach. I'm thinking of leaving my career in contract furniture and going into nursing.
Totally kidding... but it is interesting to learn. I feel like I'm married to a miracle. God's precious miracle. Things are really going in the right direction.

Dear Rhonda,
Glad to hear good news for another day. With you getting all dolled up for date night and the "hot" nurse it's not easy for Eric to keep his blood pressure down...jeez, give him a break :) If his hair was getting long i bet he was having a fit! He's always been such a worrier about his looks!! Hope you and Carol are holding up. We pray for the Lord to give you strength everyday. Thanks again for the updates. Will check back to get my good news update tomorrow.
Love you guys!
Kirsten

Hey Rhonda and Eric
We are so glad to hear such good news!! We are also glad to hear that Eric has been in good spirits today. After all he's been through, it just shows how good of a person he is to still be in good spirits!! He's always had a smile on his face! I'm going to try and get up there this week to see ya'll, or at least you. I'm not sure if Eric can have visitors yet or not. But I'd love to see you and give you a big hug!!! We miss you guys and love ya'll bunches! Tell Eric to keep getting better!!!

Hi Rhonda,
We shared the good report with everyone at church tonight! We are so glad that the good ones are coming more and more frequently! God promised that He would answer the prayers of His people and He continues to do so. We won't stop praying so He won't stop working. May He continue to bless you guys and keep your spirits up!
We love you all,
