Today was Clear Fluids day! Eric enjoyed hot tea, broth, and jello! He had a huge smile and said the hot tea made him feel really good.

Eric's neurosurgeon returned and ordered an MRI to determine if an additional surgery will be performed. The MRI was done from 2-4pm. The doctor will meet with us tomorrow to discuss the results. The nurses hinted that there may not be a second surgery, so we're hoping they're right!

No surgery means Eric would move to the Santa Clara Spinal Trauma unit on Friday or Monday and begin working toward regaining as much mobility as possible. He's anxious to begin the journey, as are all of us. An additional surgery means at least another week in ICU in Santa Rosa.

We will update the blog after we meet with the doctor tomorrow.
