(Update from Justine's dad.)
10:00pm Text from Justine:
They are trying to figure out why Eric's abdomen still bothers him. They also wonder where the blood transfusions are going because his levels are still low. Trying to get a bigger I v in for the contrast to do a scan of his abdomen.
8:00pm Update:
Eric needed three pints of blood today to keep his blood count up. Chemo takes a toll on the blood cells. A good reminder to donate blood if you are able.
Justine was at Eric's side most of the day holding his hand. She's an important medicine for Eric too. She's staying the night in the hospital leaving Tayvia at home with Grandma Ross.
2:40pm Update:
No blood clots. CT scans look ok. Changing antibiotic. Holding off on chemo today. Keeping Eric in ICU until tomorrow.
11:00am Update:
Eric's dad Gayle stayed with him last night and was a big help to Eric. Eric's day today started with a seizure at 3am. Eric has been moved to the ICU. Got some pain meds finally and is off for scans on his head and chest, then an ultrasound on his legs to check for blood clots. Will update again later today.
Thanks for the updates. It's hard to be so far away from everyone. You all are in every prayer we offer. I tried to call Eric Sunday, but I guess it wasn't good timing. Kate did a great job in both her Nutcracker performances and she LOVED giving autographs and taking photos with guests afterward. A star is born :)We're getting ready for the big trek to see y'all.
