Eric has been losing the loss of his legs and so his Oncologist sent us to the ER last night. We came home so he cold be comfortable. He has multiple bilateral cerebral tumors that are hemorrhaging and several cerebellum tumors that are also hemorrhaging. He also has a spinal tumor at C7, T7, and T8 and the cancer in the vertebrae that they found on Wednesday has gotten worse and is putting pressure on his spinal cord now.

He also has a spinal tumor at C7, T7, and T8 and the cancer in the vertebrae that they found on Wednesday has gotten worse and is putting pressure on his spinal cord now. He has been sent home with Dilaudid so that he can be free of pain as the swelling increases in his brain. These tumors can not be treated with surgery and with the extent of his disease, radiation would also not be suggested. Please continue to pray for us all.

  Jill,
  
  I just read your latest update on fb. My heart is breaking for both of you as you go though this. I've never had the opportunity to meet either of you in person but I've learned from your posts how much love you have for each other.
  
  I hope that the pain meds are keeping Eric out of pain, I wish there was something that could do the same for you. As a melanoma patient my 2 biggest fears are being in pain and watching the pain my husband would have to go through watching this.
  
  This isn't much help but know that we are here for you.

  Eric's paralysis has now begun to move upward into his lower abdomen. We were told that it will move up into his chest and arms. This is so hard to watch. He is sedated pretty much of the time with Dilliadid. His legs are now completely paralyzed where as before he could still wiggle his toes and feel slight touch. He no longer suffers from pain in his legs it's now painful in his back.
  
  Thank you for your prayers.

  Jill please tell Eric that his powerful video will not only help the cause in Australia, but also in British Columbia Canada, NJ USA and any other jurisdiction that is considering regulating this industry that concentrates UV radiation and sells it to our children.
  
  My heart goes out to you both – and I want to thank you for spending your precious time together helping others. linda

  I would like to ask for a favor. I get so many requests asking me what can be done for us. This would be something I think Eric would really treasure. If Eric's story has impacted your life in any way would you please write to him and tell him how. Even if you have friends that have seen his videos, please ask them to do the same. His email address is [email protected]. I will print of the emails and read them to him. I just want him to know what an impact he has made on people's lives. Please sign it with your name and where you live. I think maybe his story has reached more people around the US than he thinks. Thank you. ♥
