July 7th

Eric has been home for a week now. Things are going good. We didn't have physical therapy until Wednesday. Yesterday, we went to see Dr. Kelly (the neuro-surgeon). We were in his office for about 5 minutes and most of that time Eric did the talking. He said that Eric looked good. He scheduled a CAT scan for next Wednesday to see if the blood was still in his brain. If there is no blood there, then he will refer us to St. Anthony's for the Gammaknife. Dr. Kelly said that the procedure usually doesn't take full effect until about 6 months, so he could start to bleed again in that time. We also have an appointment scheduled for August 10th with the Hematologist at I think OU med. He has therapy three times a week.

Just recently, I heard something that someone said about our situation. It was not an uplifting thought and it bothered me. But it bothered me in a way that put condemnation on me. I was reminded by several people about the scripture that says to take every thought captive. I'm sure there are several but the one I am talking about is 2 Corinthians 10:5. I like what it says in The Message Bible, "We use our powerful God-tools to smashing warped philosophies." You should read it in the Message. You can go on line to Crosswalk.com and look up scriptures in any version. Anyways, I was reminded to come back to God and he will help clear things.

It was great having Eric back at the office if just for a couple of hours. It was just like normal. It was cool to him starting to get back to a normal life.
