TJ Writes: On my way to the hospital this morning, I told myself I wouldn’t cry. I told Eric when I got there that I wouldn’t cry. Of course, when they said it was time to go, I failed miserably. He smiled at me and told me it was going to be okay. I know it will. It was still hard.

I’m taking a few days off, so if you don’t hear from me on here with an update, it is nothing to worry about. I’ll have one of the Crack Crew relay a message if it is important. I need to shut down for a bit and recharge. Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far. You’re a big part of how we’ve kept going.

Update: Half an hour ago: Eric made it to the new hospital in Ohio where his mom and aunt were waiting. He’s doing good. I will talk with you all soon.

TJ Writes: For the last 37 days, the only thing Eric has been able to have in his mouth is water and cleaning paste.

I got to give him apple juice for the first time today on mouth sponge. He made orgasm face at the taste of it and then immediately fell asleep.

He does the same thing when I make him make that face at home.

When you are in a partnership, things usually have to be equal to work. But sometimes, the needs of one outweigh the other.

Before I left work on Wednesday, it was made clear to me that I can’t keep missing work for too much longer. I have to work to support us. I am not mad at my employer. I understand completely where they are coming from.

Couple that with the need to find Eric the best possible care, I have to put his needs above my own wishes.

That being said, on Monday, Eric will be moved to a facility in Ohio that can hopefully get him the care he needs. His family is only an hour away and I have been assured people will be with him every day because I won’t be able too anymore. I will go out as often as I can.

Eric agreed with this decision. I told him this was just a bump in our journey together. He told me he loved me.

But make no mistake. He might be going away from here, but it is not for good. He is my home and I am his. That is all that matters.

Tj Klune shared a link: “Eric Arvin Support Fund”: “I don’t like to ask for things. I am proud like that, to a fault. But I need to set that aside for Eric and his health.

Plans are being set in motion to move Eric from this awful hospital. Unfortunately, such a move to another facility is going to fall and Eric and I to cover, as it is not considered a medical necessity.

The cold reality of this too is even though that number already says 41k, half of that is already gone. Over a month into this, we have had to pay for flights And hotels and gas and food and dozens of other things to keep friends and family close.

If you can help, please do. I can’t even begin to thank you enough for what you have done, but this road he and I are on has only just begun. If you can’t, that is okay. Your kind words have been a great comfort to all of us.

Apparently a lot of the backstage passes I sent out didn’t arrive so I’m going to resend them.

Not super happy but mostly because they went out a while ago and should have gotten to every place already. So if you get two, smooches and I’m sorry 😀

Actually I’m sorry if you never got ONE. Growls. Really, dudes… so annoying.
