December 1, 2005 - It's been a while

Hello Everyone! Yes . . . its been a while since we wrote. We have really been busy here! We finally were approved for special services for Erik and now have all of his therapies done in the home! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also started getting home nursing help - 12 hours per day - 7 days per week! This has truly been an answered prayer! It will take 2-3 nurses to cover the hours and so far we have met 2 wonderful people! Lynette has year of experience and Erik really seems to be calm with her. She knows how to care for him and knows about seizure symptoms and such which allows us to not worry when we cannot be looking at him constantly. Dawn came today and she will be working with us on Thursdays. Her daughter had an AVM that ruptured when she was 7. Today has been an encouraging day for us as her daughter is now doing great and has had a wonderful recovery. She was much worse than Erik and was older. We know Dawn was sent to us to remind us that God is in control and that He still plans to heal Erik completely. God is so good to us! Well, I know this is short but we wanted to let everyone know that we are doing okay here. Erik finished his antibiotic and now has some swelling around the incision site and has had a few seizures (not severe though). We are watching for any changes and are praying that this is not a sign of an infection. Please keep Erik and us in our prayers as we keep all of you in our prayers. We could not make it through all of this without GOD and YOU! Love to all, Erik's Family Guest Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2005 5:53 pm Post subject: Wendy, It was nice to see you on Friday under the circumstances. Erik Does look Good.
