Rhonda Writes -
This morning, Eric was experiencing more issues with his blood pressure and heart rate. His blood pressure keeps dropping so the nurses have put him back on the blood pressure medication. He had speech therapy this morning and they said he was doing really well in that area. PT and OT have not been in yet. Kim did another Raiki treatment today.
We're hoping Eric isn't losing his spirit. He's really down and we're trying everything to keep him encouraged and motivated. Last night I pulled the recliner up next to his bed and turned on American Idol. One of our favorite things to do is watch and "critique" the singers (because we're experts, don't cha know!). I couldn't even get him to turn towards the TV. I know he's tired of being in bed.
Please pray for him to find the energy and strength he's going to need to plow through the next few weeks. Please also pray that I find the words to comfort him and provide additional strength to help him through this journey.

Dear Rhonda,
Bless your heart. I know how you feel. I'm going thru the same thing with Bill. I get my strength from Psalms 91, read it and rejoice. Is Eric in a room where we can send him little surprises and encouragement? If so, can you post the address please? We'll help you get his spirits up. Remember, we all love and support you and Eric. We will continue praying.
Love you!

Hey Rhonda,
I'm sorry to hear that Eric is so down, but it is understandable. IF we had to lay in the bed for 3 weeks at a time, we would be down too. Just keep doing what you are doing. I'm sure just you being there makes him feel better, but keep encouraging him and just being there for him. He will get through this, it won't be easy for him or you, but he will conquer this journey!!! We obviously will continue praying for him and can we send him cards for encouragment?
We love you guys!

Bummer that things are going wonky, but it's still a far sight better than a few weeks ago! Hang in there Eric, and perhaps even more so, the rest of you caring for him!
