On January 27, 2011 Eric Merkley was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. An aggressive cancer that we hope and the doctors to this point seem confident that is contained to one spot on his leg. Prognosis is good. Treatments and recovery will be long and painful.

9 hours left

Eric is doing really good. We have 9 hours left of the first chemo treatment. There has only been a few moments where he got nauseous, one was more from the dang hiccups. He pretty much slept the whole day. We had the super bowl on, and he would watch it for a few minutes (like 2 to 3 minutes at a the most) before he would go back to sleep again. But that's okay. I am thinking today will be pretty much the same... lots of sleep.

    Kris, you are a terrific "blogger!" Eric, you have the greatest Mom (of course you know that). From the time on your post, you are now down to seven hours left of chemo. Hopefully, you'll be home real soon. We are thinking about you all the time and sending our thoughts and prayers your way.

    Kris, Sue sent us this blog. We are glad to be able to keep up on what is going on with "little" Eric (as Justin still thinks of him). Hopefully when things calm down we can come and visit.
    We love you and are thinking of all of you! Love, Tiffany (and the rest of the Justin Wallis family)
