Well Eric has been home almost a month now. He is doing very good and has a drive on life stronger than any motorcycle coming out of the corner. He has been doing some rehab in south bend that has been ok. We have purchased one piece of equipment but have to come up with $25,000 for the other two. He can apply a little pressure to your hand with his feet the right being stronger than the left. He had natural talent riding a bike but he is going to have to work for this. Our home is upside down and we are doing a lot of work to make it so he can get anywhere but the basement in the house. He has been going a lot of places and made a trip to Indy and did very well going there. We pray everyday and night that we will be able to walk again. The 3rd day we were home he went down to the race shop and had someone start his race Honda. I heard the engine reving so I went down to see him sitting in his wheelchair reving the bike. When he shut it off he said don't sell it I am going to ride it again. Keep the prayers coming. I can I will Irish
