You probably wonder what the insurance company said; sorry but I don’t know yet, hoping for an answer tomorrow. Eric was down for the weather today, he through up last night. The doctor is running tests, it could be a stomach alsor from all the stress he’s experiencing. Despite this Eric walked about 1,500 feet with his head up, he practiced saying words with me and counting and he did it well.
Like any relationship Eric and I have had our differences. Eric is the most stubborn man I’ve met which many times I’ve been mad at him for. His stubbornness is today something I’m grateful for and I believe this will help him recover. We love each other very much but unfortunately love was never given a chance to be on it’s own; there’s been so many sad happenings in our family, so many tests, tears and stress. I now think that all that happened so we would know how to better handle this horrible situation. The past is behind us and doesn’t matter, I love my husband and I’m standing by his side, fighting with more power I ever done before for his health. We are both very stubborn. Eric has asked me for the past days if I’m ok. I tell him that I’m holding up and I ask him to take care of himself. He needs all his strengths to recover, but yet he keeps asking if I’m ok. Hundreds of people are telling me to take care of myself too, but yet I’m putting Eric’s health above mine; I’m just as stubborn as Eric is. I know Eric is going to be ok, he shows us new things every day. The steps are extremely minimal. This isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon as someone said about the recovery process. I hate running but I’m doing this marathon because tomorrow is a new day. I’m not giving up, Eric promised me to not give up either.
Go to the link below, a Swede wrote this song and it’s my new inspiration song. I’m juggling five attorneys, insurance company, paper work that’s like a foreign language, financial issues, a car that won’t sell, a serious injured husband, and so much more but yet I for some reason is staying positive; we’re going to be ok. Is something wrong with me??

Tough times do not last, tough people do. A marathon requires you to pace yourself. Sometimes you just need to take a time out to catch your breath. And that is ok. You are running for two.
Cheers,
Klaus

Like I told you today ACE, far and away the best I’ve seen Eric. Working with him has allowed me to see his progress and being gone for the week I was elated to see how much better he is communicating with me and how improved he is at understanding his surroundings.

It’s that stubborn Swedish toughness and thank God! Hang in there ACE. Each of these issues will slowly be resolved (insurance, car, etc.) and your list will get smaller. Don’t forget to lean on us for support and make sure to take time out for yourself. -C

Anna-Carin, God has given you special gifts that not only are you discovering, understanding and growing from, but you are showing the world what true deep unconditional love is all about. And that my friend, is truly a blessing for us all.
You don’t have to be strong everyday and every minute, but being strong and convicted is something you will look back on and feel such pride in your heart and soul. Eric is SO VERY fortunate to have you as his wife and we are as your family.
Sending lots of love and hugs! Gina (Ava and Hunter too) xoxo
