Eric is planning to watch the Super Bowl with his dad and brother, Adam, this evening. This entire city is over the top in favor of the Colts. Eric really likes the Colts also, but has a lot of interest in Drew Brees due to his Purdue years. So he had his nurse add "Go Saints" to his trach collar (a clear plastic item that directs moist, oxygenated air into his trach). It has stirred up some controversy this afternoon. He also has his Drew Brees jersey over one of the chairs!
Eric's health is improving steadily. He is able to use his hands much better today, and the voice is coming back. So much easier to communicate when he can talk! He is off all IV medications, and is only hooked to a feeding tube. What freedom! He sat up for 1/2 hour again today, and seemed stronger as he did it.
Hope you all enjoy the game tonight! (For those of you that aren't football fans, enjoy the evening anyway.)
