Today is day 2 of the clear fluid diet. Eric is feeling stronger every day and this afternoon we’re going to open all of the cards he’s received at the hospital. 

The doctors also confirmed that Eric will not have the second surgery this week. He may have it later depending on his progress, but overall this is great news! It allows him to continue his healing process, including daily occupational and physical therapy, and most importantly it means he can move to Santa Clara’s Spinal Trauma Unit early next week, possibly Monday. 

Eric's occupational therapist used to work there and today he spent over an hour giving Eric the inside scoop on what to expect. Everyone is really confident that Eric will receive top-notch treatment. Check out their video if you want to know more.
