Eric had a rough day, they had a new P.T. working with Eric. It was tough for him, when you get use to how one works, a different one kind of throws a curve ball. He couldn't get the hang of it, and totally shut down. On a good note he did well with O.T. They are going to try a new P.T. tomorrow, so we will hope this one will be a better option for him. While Eric is still paralyzed we continue to pray Gods blessing, Grace and his goodness on Erics lif,e as well as our family. Its a tough road but together we will get through this and be a stronger family for it. Thanks for all your prays, may God bless you all as well.

Eric continues to be in great spirits. He has an amazing faith that God will heal him and he will be able to ride one more time. He is so appreciative of of everyones prayers. He can't, in his wildest dreams, imagine going through this alone. He is working on moving the wheelchair up steps. A very hard task that usually takes a week a to achieve. He is also lifting weights to increase upper body strength. He is now able to sit up for two hours twice a day. Grateful that God is leading and directing our path. We believe he will continue to use Eric to glorify his name.Also grateful for a small community that is so supportive of our family. Thank you all. Please continue to pray for us.

Eric ended up having a great day in spite of having a U.T.I. We are trying to get that under control. Mean while he is still limited to setting up for two hours because of the bed sore but they reassured us that on Monday he will start 2 2 hour sessions per day. His upper body strength is getting stronger, although he still has a ling way to go. His spirits are very good and he loves to get visitors. He likes to impress everyone with his strength and hard work. Thanks for all your prayers.
Oh very important news. Yesterday he had an appointment with the spinal surgeon who said that the spine was aligned and healing well. He got to have pizza while at the hospital and sat up for two hours. He also went up to the fifth floor and spoke with Shane Himels parents. ( Shane was hurt in a race car crash the past week end.) It was good to see them and encourage each other as we all battle through. Please keep Shane in your prayers. Eric is making lasting relationships with some quite amazing people. People that will be remembered for their kindness way after this is all over.

If you follow Erics facebook at all, He just posted something we can all live by.' Won't stop fighting till I reach the end. Thanks Everyone." While none of us have had this life altering experiance at his age I think thats a brave quote from a kid going through this. Please know that Eric is working very hard and that rehab can last most of the day. The longer and harder he works the sooner he comes home. And that is the main goal. Will keep you updated.

Hey everyone,
Hi it's Eric's favorite aunt Shelly. (I said that he did'nt.)Just leaving from spending the day with Eric. HE HAD A GREAT DAY. God has placed some amazing people in his life. A young man came to see Eric today who was also paralized. He was such a positive young man. Total inspiration to Eric. Eric is grateful to know that people take time out of their busy schedules to come and see him. Eric will soon be able to post a blog when we teach him how and set it up for him to do so. Thanks again everyone for your prayers, God is faithful and Just to answer them.
