Updates on Eric Lappegard

Some recent updates on Eric, including info on how to send money his way and help out immediately (in the bottom post).

Today started out the same as yesterday. They had Eric sedated to help his lungs to continue to heal and to help him with his breathing. He is still on oxygen, but they have brought down the precentage he is receiving, so hopefully in the next couple of days they will be able to take to breathing tube out and he will be able to talk. He had 2 visitors today, Pastor Paul Hoffman from a church here in Seattle and Suzie Strait. He opened his eyes for both of them and was very alert when Suzie was here. He also squeezed their hands a little when asked too. You could tell he really enjoyed her visit. Suzie & Shawn Kock are going to go get his belongings out of the truck on Saturday and bring them to Seattle. Suzie has a garage we can store the items in for the time being. You don't know how much we appreciate them for doing this. They gave Eric a bath and washed his hair today so he really looks great. I think the dirty hair was bothering him because he kept wanting one of us to scratch his head. Thank you for all your prayers, hopefully he will continue to make more improvements every day.

Not much changed today over yesterday. Eric slept most of the day. They did not give him much meds to make him sleep. They wanted him to wake up a little, but he fooled them and slept anyway. They worked vigorously on his left lung, because that lung has fluid in it and they really wanted to get the fluid out. This evening when he did finally wake a little he kept asking for something. After much frustration on his part and ours and with the help of a alphabet board we finally figured out that he wanted some water. Even though he is not able to drink they did swab his mouth with some water and he enjoyed that. The doctor said it would probably be a few more days before he will be able to get the breathing tube out of his mouth. We also found the cartoon network on his tv so now he will be in heaven even if all he does is listen to it. Thank you everyone for your prayers and messages they mean a great deal to us.

Eric didn't sleep well last night. He was running a temperature during the night. Things are looking a little better today (a mother's hope). They are going to sit him up in a chair today if he maintains his blood pressure. We will update you more later today on how his day went.

Many people have asked how they can help financially for Eric's ongoing care & comfort. My uncle has established an account in Eric's name at a bank in Minnesota. He tells me that donations can be made as follows:

Account of EricLappegard Voyager Bank

500 Marschall Road

Shakopee, MN 55379

We will keep you updated later today on his condition.
