Update About Complications

Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted to let everyone know about Eric's current situation. Unfortunately yesterday was a tough day for him and he was in a lot of pain. So the Dr's made sure that he was medicated and not feeling any pain, this made him very sleepy and not very responsive. Around 8pm last night the nurse came to check on him and his right side was not moving and he was not talking. The rushed him into the CAT scan and saw blood. He had a small leak from something and there was a clot. So at 10pm they took him back to surgery and removed the blood and clot. They are not sure what caused the leak but the surgeon said he was cautiously optimistic that everything would be fine. So far today his has movement in his left foot and hand, his right foot reacts to touch and his right hand is still not working. He is sedated and has a tube for breathing to keep his blood pressure down and his the CAT scan comes back ok today they will ween him from the tube and wake him up. I know this is a surprise for everyone but Eric is a fighter and I know he will pull out of this just fine. Please continue the prayers and I will try to update as often as possible I know he has a lot of people who care about him and we both want everyone to know whats going on with his current fight.

Thank you for all your prayers,

Hallie
