March 23,2008

Rhonda Writes -

It's 11 p.m. so I'm sure it will be Sunday before Tom gets this email and posts. I wanted to let everyone know that Eric (and I) had a much better day today. He was not confused at all and answered all my questions correctly as I played "Speech Therapist" walking through some of the exercises I've seen them do. He was talking so well that I picked up the phone and called the kids.

He was able to speak to both of them and hear all the bazillion things they were doing on a Saturday at home with my Mom. He talked to each of them for several minutes so by the time I hung up the phone, he was completely worn out. It seemed to boost his spirits though!! Carol and I spent most of the day at the hospital, driving him crazy I'm sure! :) His Dad drove in from Indiana to see him and spent some time this evening with him too.

I hope everyone has a beautiful Easter! After church we're tking Garrett & Erica to the hospital to visit for a bit. I'll try to take a pic or two to post if Eric's still feeling good. Love to everyone!

So glad to hear that Eric had a better day and his spirits were up a little! Remember, he will still have some bad days, but he will have good ones too. So just take one day at a time! Mom told me you were at church this morning, I hate I missed you. I would love to see you. Tell Eric we said Hi, and Mike is ready to Pary-ty with him when he is up to it! Which we don't think will be long. Hang in there girl, we are still continuing to pray for you guys everyday.
