Hi Eric,

I'm so happy to hear of your improvements throughout the day. You had all of us at KB pretty scared. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that you continue to get better as the time passes.

That is excellent news!! Godspeed on a fast recovery and may you continue to have the loving support, inner strength and network of prayers from your family and people who care about you!

It’s so weird to sit here and see your office door closed and not be able to joke with you about work or daily happenings. The paper wrote an article about you online and one thing that stuck out was that it said, "There is not one person who you come in contact with that can say they don't like you..." That is such a compliment in itself, because it shows how regardless if you realize it or not you are cared for and your presence really does make an impact. I pray for you and your family and continue to look forward to the updates of your continued progression.

If there is anything I can help your family with during this time, please don't hesitate to let me know. I told Mike to remind you not to make pregnant co-workers have heart attacks... but seriously, you came pretty close!

Wishing you and your family all the best...

Oh, I have such goose bumps reading this last update.

I am sure that I share this when I say I have not stopped thinking about you all and my prayers are continuously directed your way. Jana, before long, he will be back in the adorable home you both created for yourselves for the long life journey that awaits you. God bless. Yonette Schneider in PA

Eric, I am so happy to hear that you are awake and progressing. I've been praying for you, Jana, and your family. I must say this couldn't have happened to a nicer person. You can't get sappy with people very often, but this is one of those times you can. :) You are one of the nicest, hardest working people I have ever met. Just the fact that you have a whole blog set up and are getting so many messages shows how many lives you've touched (and I'm sure didn't even know it). I know that God was watching over you and put Andy the jogger at that exact place at that exact time for a reason. I think it is only a matter of time before you are completly well again. Stay strong and I will continue to pray for you and your family. You are missed and loved by everyone here at KB.

Eric and Jana,
It makes me so happy to see how many friends you have, and how much both your families love you at a time like this. It is powerful to rally the troops and have support coming from so many directions!
Know there are many prayer chains with you on them, and many other people thinking of you and wishing you well. The Hesston network has done a great job of getting word out. I wonder how many people in how many states are concerned with your progress.
Everyone is pulling for you and your families.

PS I do want the record to show that I was sitting by ET in college algebra when Jana decided to sit in front of us. From day one of that class I knew Jana was going to be in trouble.

Eric, All of us here in your KB family are thinking about you and your family and praying hard for your swift recovery.
If the size fish in the picture on the blog is the size you were going after Sunday night, stay out of the water and go to the fish market instead. :)

Eric,
I want to let you know that you (Dana and your families) have been in our prayers as soon as we heard the news. I told the lady I was working for and she put it on her prayer chain which literally goes around the world. I can't tell you how concerned I was and how good it is to read about your recovery. We will continue to keep you in our prayers. Hope to talk with you soon.
Your cousin,
David and Debra
P.S. See if they can put a recent pic of you on the blog site. I want to see if you're still as ugly as alway.
