4:54pm - My intention is not to paint a Rosy picture that everything is fine. It's not. Eric is still in critical condition and still in the intensive care unit. However; from a father's perspective, I see improvements everyday. Some that the doctors agree with and some that they say it's just reflex. I believe in God, hope and our son. Eric has always been healthy and strong. Even thou he's not a Taurus (like his dad) he is stubborn and will not give up easy. He always finds a way.

I also believe that all the prayers are helping him find his way back to us. So please keep him in your prayers.

Today, Eric is stable. He's at 30% oxygen (down from 80%). His temperature is back up to about 100. The doctors took him of the intravenous pain medication and only left him with the pain patch. He's opening his eyes more today but still seems fatigued. We did put some headphones on him and letting him listen to a storybook on CD to help stimulate the brain.
