HIS NAME IS ERIC
HIS NAME IS ERIC
To My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, all the angels in heaven and to the Saints that have gone on before us:
I feel so desperate right now that writing to my Lord and Savior seems a very sensible thing to do. My 13 year old nephew, Eric, was diagnosed in July with AML Leukemia. This is a leukemia that strikes adults and not children or adolescents. But there have been some adolescents that have acquired this disease. At this very moment, Eric is in an isolated room proofed to be free of infectious or viral diseases. Everything that goes into his room must first go through an alcohol wash, including his parents my brother, Walter and his wife, Maggie. Eric is on his 8th day of 8 days worth of chemo treatments to kill all his own blood cells to prepare his for a bone marrow transplant on Thursday, September 28th.
His donor is my other nephew, Eric’s 10 year old brother, Zach. I am a pastor with medical problems which prohibits my ability to fly, so I cannot be with Walt and his family and Lord that breaks my heart. My husband is a minister in a church in Missouri and my brother’s family lives in California. Eric is in fact at the Kaiser Hospital in San Francisco. Ever since he has been in the hospital I have sent him a funny or happy get well card everyday until now. My cards will not make it through the alcohol wash. My brother has stopped any calls going to Eric because he doesn’t have the strength to talk. In fact, he is very, very weak and our prayers are he can hold on through to the transplant.
My husband and I have served many churches in the Midwest and we have called upon those churches to pray for Eric and the whole family. It is hard for me to talk and now even write about Eric, Zach, Maggie and Walt without tears just blinding my view. I myself am a cancer survivor and I know a little of what Eric is going through. From day one I have told Eric he must believe in miracles. That our God is a loving God and he wants Eric to be whole again and that Eric is never alone. I also strongly believe in angels and I’ve told Eric that God has sent a legend of angels to be with him and his family.
If you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, will you please pray for Eric, Zach, Maggie and Walter. God Bless You.
