April 5, 2010 - What a week!

Hello. Hope all of you are doing well. Last week was a week of "ups and downs" with many more "ups" than downs . . . thank God! Erik started the week with some seizure activity but it only lasted 2 days . . . prayer works! The rest of the week went well with treatment. We have settled into a nice routine. We had a nice surprise this week. We contacted Give Kids the World (where we stayed for our Make-A-Wish trip: http://www.gktw.org/corporateHeroes.asp?a=4&page=wdw) and Paramount Carowinds to see if we could get discount tickets to the park for a day when the family are all here. We are 20 minutes from the park and it seemed like a shame to not try to go. We asked about special rates for Make-A-Wish families and they gave us 7 free passes for the day! What a wonderful surprise! We did not expect that but ate breakfast and headed to the park. It just opened last weekend and local Spring Break is this coming week so it was not that crowded and we had a wonderful time! Glad we asked! We finished treatment #25 today to only 15 more to go! Time is really passing quickly. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Love in Christ, Erik's Family
