Happy New Year!!

To all of our faithful blog readers we wish you the a Happy New Year! We hope the fast approaching 2009 will bring wonderful things for all of you!! I have a ton of new pictures to post, I will try in the next day or so to do a new slide show!! Have a safe & wonderful holiday!!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to you all!! Thank you for following this blog, it helps Eric to know that you're all thinking, and praying for him. He had chemo today and is a little down, it's difficult to handle cancer on a normal day, but chemo on Christmas Eve is definitely no fun. To all of you and your families thank you for blessing ours with your comfort, prayers, and comments, they mean so much to us. Oh by the way, if your counting that's 2 more chemo treatments to go!! Woohoo!

Here is a picture of Eric with 4 of his favorite people (other than Lauren)

Eric had a visitor...

Eric is feeling good, he has been doing endless tasks for his mom, all in the spirit of Christmas. He was at our family party the other day when a visitor arrived...

Thanks to all of you that participated in Eric's quilt!!

The number 8

A while back (during a bingo game) Mom, Hailey, & I all discovered our "lucky" number was 8. I'm not sure why it's our lucky number, it just always has been. Well now the number 8 is also Eric's lucky number, it's his life saving number. Eight is the number of chemo treatments it will take to rid his body of this cancer, eight is a very lucky number indeed.

UPDATE: Eric is not feeling well at all tonight, let's all rally behind him!!

Chemo tomorrow

Eric has chemo tomorrow, the last treatment went well with minimal side effects (Eric might not agree with that statement, but we all think he did better this last time). So that's our word of the day folks, minimal...let's pray for minimal.

Overdue update!!

I know it has been forever since I have updated!! Eric is doing really well he has been helping mom with Christmas elf projects, and kicking butt at laser tag. He went to his nephew's birthday party and we all played laser tag, and he played several arcade style games and gave all of his tickets (he calls them coupins no not coupons, coupins) to his nieces & nephews. He has chemo again this Thursday, then again on Christmas Eve. For those of you keeping track he has 2 treatments this month, then two next, radiation after that, and then god willing he will be cancer free!!

Quick update

I know I haven't said much about Eric, he had chemo a week ago, but there hasn't been much to tell. He is actually doing fairly well, a little RLS (restless leg syndrome). But generally much better this time around than last. He has chemo again next Thurs., and then on Christmas Eve, I do have a special project I need help with if anyone would like to help me please email me rkings2991@aol.com
