Miracles Still Happen Eric Von Wiegen is great grandson of the late Myron B. Wells, a partner in the McDowell and Wells store, in business in the area known as Mooers Junction. The building was later owned by Guy Howard of Mooers Forks and known as Mooers Consolidated Slipper Co. Mr. Wells in later, life was employed by Frank Goodrich Sr. His daughter Harriet (Wells ) Schroll is the grandmother f th is ch il d. His ch il d is Mrs. Er ic P. V on Wiegen, (Har - riet's daughter, Carol) On September 4,1980 at die home of Mr. and Mrs. Eric P. Von Wiegen of Amsterdam, NY a tragic accident hap- pened. Little Eric, age 18 months suddenly disappeared and was found by his father at the bottom of die family swimming pool. His father immediately dived in after die body, now lifeless, his breathing and heart stopped, he was drowned. When die attempts to rally the child failed, the father called for help and ran inside to die phone for an amublance. A doctor living nearby heard die commotion and came to die rescue. The Amsterdam fire department rescue squad, arrived and whisked the little boy to die . local hospital. The Memorial Hospital staff continued working on the body. Having realized die seriousness of all this they summoned, Dr. Edward B. Lawin, Chief of Pediatrics, of Ellis Hospital of Schenectady, who was rushed by helicopter to the child. Eric was dien just be- ginning to breathe. They remained in the local hospital until the child's condition seemed reasonably stable. Eric was then flown to Memorial Hospital in Schenectady, where he remained in a coma for six days. While breadiing through means of a respirator with tubes and needles stuck into his body, he lingered, because of the lack of oxygen, the prognosis was diat he probably never have use of his arms or legs again. His dad refused to give up. He remained by the childs side day and night (getting only a bit of sleep) this went on for days. By October 80, Eric went home, but his condition was tragic. After serious surgery at various hospitals, Eric was taken to Massachusetts Rehibilatation Hospital where die parents were told diat Eric's chances of recovery was only 10%. On December 7,1980, there was a note of encouragement as Eric's family noticed his eyes would follow diem about die room. He was permitted to go home for Christmas .80, although still not talking or walking On March 15, 1981, his mother said, \This wa%.one of those days we will never forget, Eric'started to walk to- day.\ He is registered in die Teclar Diagnostic Centerm Amsterdam, a schc<)l for handicapprf children, where he continues to receive therapyl He continueS\io. snow steady improvement, and is as happy|»djbvingasjie iivasjb^re Open H&u \M<$Br MwH Ifaitgejoent 86 Lake St., Rouses Point 1 W% §r, XWm Discount on • -J|§7*> the accident. In a recent picture, Eric is tossing food to pigeons. The skilled physicians give die credit of his rec- overy to a devoted family, a fadier who gave up his law practice for a year to be a constant companion to Eric, to maintain a therapy practice hour by hour, assisted by the mother and diree sisters. Anyone wanting more information of this miracle, may contact Myrtle Ellis in Mooers, she has diree different articles appearing in die Albany paper. No one can deny that this is a miracle, made possible through die prayers and constant care of a loving family.
