Finally Number Two and some GOOD news!


Well I am doing pretty well from yesterday. I know that they did some stuff and I am pretty wore out. I wanted to say how wonderful everyone has been here at the City of Hope. I am lucky to have so many great people helping me with the fight.

Eric

As Eric said he is recovering well and quicker than last surgery, they want to send him home on Wednesday! This of course is great news although I am not so much for blood and gross stuff, so maybe one more day here with the nurses who don't faint and get queasy would be a good call. Anyhow the Doctor did come in only after he was told not to come with any bad news, he was happy to say that the news was good. He told us that the MRI from today looked good and they all feel really good about the surgery. We are so happy to finally hear something positive. I guess all the prayers are working so keep up the good work. The next step will be for Eric to recover and heal from this surgery and start with the radiation and chemo.

Thanks again for all your love, support and prayers!

My brother Eric,

Man, what Earth shattering news I received today. I cant believe this hand which you have been dealt. When I opened the Christmas letter and made my way down the page, that paragraph hit me like a ton of bricks. It kind of happened like it does in the movies where a million memories flash back in seconds. I have known you now for 15 years, we have shared many experiences, triumphs, and success'. From our first days on the bone wagon, to both embarking on our Fire Careers together. The academy, medic school (first you than me), birth of children, and you being in my wedding. Almost getting killed in an ambulance, and sharing that final triumph of that goal to make it to the big show, hockey games, and so many more. Rest assured brother, we are here. I now know. I wont let you walk through this alone. I am praying, We are praying. We will beat this!! Much love to you guys, and When are you good for a visit. Ill be there every day off if you need me.
