Rhonda Writes -
Eric's had a great day. He had a great workout with Physical and Occupational Therapy. He sat up in the chair for over an hour. His blood pressure was pretty good, dropping some towards the end but I danced in front of him a little and that helped. Ha-ha.
He is so ready to get stronger though. He never turns down a chance to work. What seems like simple stretching is a major work out for Eric. Just touching his thumb to each finger on his right hand is something he has to concentrate on. He was surrounded by his "work wives". He loves it. I told them today to keep doting on him. He'll improve quicker that way! :) His speech therapist worked a lot with him today. She had frozen, lemon swabs that she rubbed on the back of his throat to stimulate swallowing. He loved it.... Closest thing he's had to food in 2 months. Can you imagine? He's resting now. He's very exhausted and ready to nap.

Rhonda,
I am so happy to hear things are going so well!! Tell Eric when he's ready for the chili dogs from the Varsity to let me know. Tell him we're proud of his progress. The Lord is great!!! Our love and prayers continue your way.
Love you guys!

Hey Rhonda, I'm glad Eric had a good day. I know he is so ready to get rolling on the road to recovery! Did he tell you I visited him Friday? I didn't stay very long, he looked tired. I was so glad to be able to see him and talk to him though. I hope to visit again soon.
Love you,
Patti
