Spring is in the air...

Cheers everyone!

WOW a week goes by so fast, so many good things happened!
Here are a couple that are now GONE , done with ... no more oxygen, no more Atrovent,( inhalation for the treatment of his lungs) a brush cut and a beard shave :) Looks awesome!
Short Term plan well under way, the wounds seem to be closing nicely .
He has been eating and drinking very well, thanks to Phil. as he doesn't lighten up when Eric says he is full, there are always a couple more bites that Phil gets in after Eric says "no more". I'm a wimp when it comes to feeding him,I know sometimes he really doesn't feel like it but he knows the importance of it. Last Sunday he had a craving for a McDonald's cheeseburger , fries and chicken nuggets so that's what he ate!!
Next week the plan is to have him stand , with the help of a machine off course. After lying down for 4 months he has to gradually get his bearings, this is just the beginning and all Doctors are being very careful not to rush him too much.
During the day we watch movies ,catch some Zs and talk, yes he is much more communicative. Phil and I alternate the sleep overs, probably until he is able to ring the bell for assistance.
This coming week Eric will have a very special birthday he will turn 30, his dad, granny Furtado , Ricardo and Carlos will be here to help celebrate.

I will now share with you what Eric told me when we talked about his paralyzes, and I said it was temporary, I believe, that still in my life time he will walk again.

" Mum , I live for today and today my reality is that I am confined to a wheelchair."

Thank you all for your Blog comments he does need all that encouragement.
I hope, soon to have him post his update.
Till than
