The accident fractured Erickson&#8217;s skull and  caused two blood clots.<\/p>\n<p>Plans call for Erickson to leave Fort Myers early in the morning so that  he can be admitted to Abbott Northwestern Hospital by 2 p.m., says Rick  Carlson, Erickson&#8217;s pastor at the Roseville (Minnesota) Covenant Church,  who has been providing regular updates on Erickson&#8217;s progress. Once  Erickson arrives at Abbott Northwestern, it is requested that there be  no visitors.<\/p>\n<p>The special fund, established through Roseville Covenant Church, will  help cover the estimated $15,000 cost of transporting Erickson by air,  including ambulances at both airports. &#8220;This will not be covered by  insurance,&#8221; Carlson notes. Those interested in contributing to the fund  should send a check, made payable to Roseville Covenant Church and  earmarked for the Paul Erickson Fund. Checks should be mailed to the  church at 2865 N. Hamline Ave., Roseville, MN, 55113. &#8220;Unfortunately,  your gift is not tax deductible, but you will be sent a receipt,&#8221;  Carlson adds. Questions may be directed to Carlson by telephone at  651-633-5526 or by email at rickcarlson56@msn.com.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have all been wondering if there is anything practical that we can  do to help Paul and Joan,&#8221; Carlson says. &#8220;Well, here it is &#8211; give  generously. If more money is collected than is needed, the extra funds  will be contributed to the Covenant Ministers Crisis Fund administered  by the Department of the Ordered Ministry of the Evangelical Covenant  Church.<\/p>\n<p>To read earlier accounts of the accident, please see:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item4814.html\"> Erickson in  Critical But Stable Condition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item4813.html\"> Former  Superintendent in Serious Bicycle Accident<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More information will be posted to this online Covenant news report as  it becomes available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=7767&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FORT MYERS, FL (April 5, 2006) &#8211; A special fund has been established to help cover the transportation costs for retired Northwest Conference Superintendent Paul Erickson, who will be flown by a medical air ambulance to Minneapolis tomorrow.
