\Eric has done better today despite last night he was up all night walking around couldn't sleep. They gave him some medication for his anxiety but it made him sleep alot during the day and so he was wide awake at night. They have decided to decrease the anxiety meds and only give half the amount at bedtime hopefully that works.
No fevers still which is good they think the antibiotics have helped that, we hope when they do another x-ray it shows it's helping the infection and pneumonia. Eric is walking alot more today and that is always good, he is walking more faster and seems to not be so weak and slow today! :) Eric has earned all the maxium bandanna's so they gave his a "ALL TIME M & M Mover Award" he received a t-shirt that says " I Am A Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor". Pretty cool, huh? HAHAA!
I am posting a picture of Eric's door showing all his paper bandanna's and a few extra M & M's and then he has earned extra totaling 5 bandanna's and tied them all on his IV pole as his "Badge of Honor" I also posted a picture today of Eric sleeping, he has lost alot of weight total so far since he entered the hospital is 28 pounds! WOW!! He is still not eating but at least drinking alot of water and they also keep him pretty pumped with IV fluids.
General Conference was really uplifting, it seems I always feel like we are so spiritually starving then by the end of General Conference weekend we are feed so much spiritually and we have a new found boost and energy to keep on going. Back home in Utah we take for granted that we just turn on the TV to watch conference but outside of Utah down here in Texas I had to watch it on my lap top via Internet an hour delayed. I was able to watch all of Saturday;s and Sunday's both sessions and it was very rewarding. on Saturday's session the choir sang Eric's and my favorite song " I Know That My Redeemer Lives" that was so beautiful as well as many other songs. I was reminded of how much our ancestors went through and felt as if I can bear this burden and trial, others have done so much more. I am so grateful for the scriptures and the comfort of turning through the pages and reading such inspiring scriptures that seem to be talking directly to me. We are very blessed and I hope to do what the Lord wants me to do so that when I am judged for my actions he know that I have done good in the world.
