11:15pm - Danyale visited Eric today. Her mom said she protested at the hospital until they gave her a pass to come see Eric. Danyale was in a wheelchair and is doing well. She has a rough 12-18 months of therapy but I know that she's up to the task. While Danyale was visiting with and talking to Eric, Eric moved his left arm across his lap. I told Eric that was great and that he should show her how he can also move / bend his left leg; he did - I asked him to do it again, and he did. I truly hope and pray that this was a good sign. Eric continues to baffle us as sometimes he seems to hear us and other times he's distant. We continue our faith and hopes and of course our prayers for Eric.

12:49pm - Eric continues to keep his eyes open more and moving his left arm and leg. His mother said that he was playing with the ring on her finger as well as grabbed his right arm with his left again.

For those of considering visiting Eric at the hospital, I want you to know that he's in isolation for the time being and you might not be able to see him due to the infections he has. Once they move him out of PCU early next week, that would be better.

Thanks and please keep the prayers going for him. Leslie left the following prayer which I think is appropriate to say for Eric. Thanks Leslie

Father God,

We lift up this wonderful young man to you and seek your miraculous healing touch for his life. Please shower this family with your love and comfort. Give them a sign today that Eric is hearing every thing they say to him. We pray for complete restoration for Eric, Lord, that he might be a mighty warrior for you and give you all the glory for his recovery.

Lord, let this dear family be united in speaking life and hope into Eric's life. Let there be no pressure to remove his care prematurely by the medical facility. We praise you and thank you for his survival.

In the mighty name of Jesus,

Amen
