Eric came home today (7/25). He is currently resting and trying to shake off the last remnants of post-operative nausea. The surgery went according to plan, and the talented Dr. Don Ross was able to remove the major bulk of the tumor from the right temporal lobe.
Eric probably won't be ready to receive visitors for the next day or two, but your positive thoughts and well-wishing is making a truly positive impact.
After a trip to San Francisco in early August to consult with the brain tumor experts, radiation and chemo will begin in mid August.

Go Eric, We are all with you. The mohawk looks like my son David's hairdo for his senior prom. Pete
Hi Eric! Love the color! It reminds me of a joke about a convict and a parrot. Remind me to tell you sometime.
Good thoughts coming your way!

Hi Eric! Tom wants to know if the hair do was developed on the Rogue or the Middle Fork of the Salmon? Also, did you save some hair to tie a blue tail fly? We are pulling for you!
Judy and Tom
Eric & Margery et al, Know that we are thinking of you constantly! Our best hopes and thoughts are with you. With a little more work on the new do and a tan, you could pass for Michael Jordan! Hope you're up for visits soon.
Eric - Great color on the hair, but I think spikes would compliment the look.
I am glad you are home and the first part of this journey is behind you. Know you are surrounded by love and prayers as you continue forward.
Hi Eric, Marjorie & Family,
Great that you're home so soon, Eric.
We're sending GIGANTIC GOOD WISHES...

Hi Eric- I am sending you Italian Love and I suggest your next hair color should be hot pink. Glad to know you are home. I have a prayer flag in my office for you that Dan brought back from India. I miss seeing you here! Annemarie
Hi Eric,
Loved the hair! What a great gift to those of us who know you & love you anyway!!! My very best to you & your family. My positive thoughts, good karma & powerful prayers are sent to you everyday.
"ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER" has been my motto thru some very hard times & it , along with god's blessings, work! Keep the great attitude you have!!!
See you soon on 2 west, or as we are known...2 wicked.

So, Eric, who'd you have to bribe to get out in two days? Amazing! All of us here at the office gave some thought to showing our solidarity with you by dying a bit of our hair blue...I was never so grateful for the employee handbook as now. It specifically prohibits unnatural hair colors!!
Big love to you and Marjorie. And thanks to Maryann for the Blog! Great idea. I'm sending you good juju!
