Eric is just 45 years old and is in an induced coma. He was, since Monday when he suffered aneurism at work and was rushed to Westmead Hospital. He regained conciousness the next day, was promptly operated on and was put in an induced coma to stabilize his condition. He is still in ICU at Westmead.
We are praying for him at this stage, as science has done its job. His wife and children misses him. His brothers here in Australia and parents in the Philippines and countless relatives and friends in both countries are praying for him.
Praying that Eric will survive and surmount this "test" and the will of God; whatever that may be, "Be Done". It is not wishful thinking, but a cry for help, for strenght and guidance.
Our healing prayers for Eric. For Chona and their children and for Bubot and Sonny and their parents; our prayers for strenght in this very difficult time.
This April 2008, as the month is drawing to a close, Eric's "slice of life" - a phase in any one's life managed to just pipped in. I was only planning for three stories: a child celebrating his second bithday, a mother celebrating her 100th birthday and a friend who just died of cancer. Now, Eric, another friend - a fourth phase of life, hanging on to dear life.
(Just in case you're wondering what the picture is all about, it is stripped copper wires that we recycle. Eric and I are both into electronics, and that is the connection. Life, like these copper wires are inter-connected and inter-mingled - and like life we are recycled to that great beyond!)

Good news, Eric is awake and out of induced coma. But it will take awhile for him to go back to his "normal" self. At least he recognises his brothers!
Well keep you posted.
