The past few weeks have been molded into a blur. Today marks the two week anniversary of the day my husband broke his back. Eric fell off the second story of a house he was framing while at work. He landed on his shoulder, folded in half and as hit feet hit the ground above his head he broke his T12 vertebrae. The day after his accident the neuro surgeon fused his T11 and L1 to his T12 vertebrae. After a week of recuperating in the hospital we finally got to go home. We have been home for a week now and we are going to get his staples taken out today. Eric has an awesome attitude and he is making progress everyday. We are just grateful that he is not paralyzed. Time and time again our doctors told us that it truly is a miracle that he is not paralyzed. The way his bone broke, and the shards on bone surrounded the spinal cord should have punctured the cord, especially since he tried to go back to work after falling and then decided to drive to the emergency room without calling an ambulance. We feel truly blessed and have felt all your prayers and support. It has been so amazing to see how blessed we are with an unfailing support group. You all have kept us going through the good and bad days. We love you and thank you!

Laci, you married a class act. I really like and respect Eric, his patience, and his positive attitude on life and serving others. You guys are going to do great and I wish you the best during Eric's recovery.
I can't believe it's been 2 weeks! I'm sure it feels a lot longer to you two! I, like Blake have been very impressed with both of your attitudes! You know who to call if you need anything!
I was so glad to read your post! I have been checking here regularly to see if you had any updates on Eric. You both have been in our thoughts and prayers. I know what a long process rehab can be, but I know you two make an awesome team and you'll make it through this even stronger than ever! Keep us posted!
We are grateful Eric is doing so well. You have both been pillars of strength through it all. We continue to pray for his recovery.
Well written article.
