Unfortunately, I will be away from the blog for a few days. My father, who is five weeks from turning 87, had a serious stroke this morning. We’re going to head to my parents’ house tomorrow to do what we can to help. I will report back when I can. In the meantime, please keep my father in your prayers.

Take care, Eric. Our thoughts are with you.
I’m so sorry to hear about your father, Eric. Maryann’s mother will be 88 in December and has been living with us for the past five years. She has been in and out of the hospital several times in the past eight months, so I know the stress of caring for an elderly parent. Our prayers are with you.
I hope all goes well.
Peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you my friend. May God watch over all of you during this difficult time.
Eric;
I’ve been where you are, and will pray as requested.
Ken
Praying for your Dad and family Eric.
Bless you all in this horrible time. Eric, my prayers are with you.
Rick
Eric, prayers for your father and yall.
Eric,
Our thoughts and prayers will accompany you.
Phil
Eric,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Best wishes to your father and the entire family, Eric.
Please know that I will also keep your father (and you and Susan) in my thoughts. Hope all goes well.

Eric,
Stroke is boldly brushed in my recent family history. Best wishes to your father, and good luck to you as you forge your own healthy future.
My thoughts are with you.
Mannie
Eric:
Heartfelt prayers from here as well.
Russ
Eric,
What more can I say? My prayers are with you and your family for sure. My father has Alzheimer’s so I can empathize with you having an ailing parent. Take care of him, and yourself.
Andrew
Eric,
We can only hope all turns out well. I’ve been through this and will keep a good thought out for you.
Jim
Thanks, everyone.
He had a severe cerebral hemorrhage, but it missed the autonomic nervous system. He’s awake, alert, breathing on his own, but his right arm and leg are paralyzed, and he’s having a really difficult time trying to speak. Time will tell.
The good news is that he was transferred out of the ICU today and into the stroke unit, and was able to resume eating solid food. The docs are pretty amazed that he’s doing well enough to do that considering the extent of the bleed.
Eric
Excellent news, Eric! Please keep us posted on his progress.
Sean
Been awhile since I posted…definitely have him, you and your wife in our prayers. Here’s hoping for continued progress.

Eric in all of our prayers…
Eric, I wish your dad a full recovery. I pray for peace of mind for him and your whole family. Best wishes to you all.
Dear Eric,
I have been on a church mission trip and have just this day read of your father’s condition (my own Dad is 88). You have my prayers for his recovery and for you and Susan as this will require emotional and spiritual strength of both of you.
Please keep us all posted on his progress.
Best wishes always,
Lanny
I have you and your family in my thoughts. I have been through that with my father (several stokes). I know the trouble you are going through and hope for a complete recovery.
John
Eric,
You and your family are in my prayers.
