Last week, we met witht the Doctor about the blood disorder. He was a really funny guy. He had eyebrows like catapillers. We thought it was going to be a real serious meeting. It wasn't. The doctor basically said that if Eric gets sick again and is going to be in bed for a while to tell the doctors to give him a medicine to stop blood clots. He said that for the rest of the family also. He said that Eric and his dad looked fairly healthy and to not really worry about it. He didn't want to get Christopher checked because then it would be on his record and it would prevent him from some things like if he wanted to go in the service. So it was really just informative.

We also heard from the doctor who will do the gamma knife. She wants Eric to have another CAT scan and MRI. He will have that done on Friday.

Eric's parents left on Saturday. It was very hard on everyone. They had been here for over 3 months. We were by ourselves on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. But reinforcement came Monday night. My mom came down and will stay for a while to help take Eric to therapy and other stuff.
