Bring on Spring!

This is the first real update about Erika. She is doing great today! She had some issues with the chemo (she was able to handle all the radiation so well that they gave her the highest dose of one of her chemo drugs which knocked a bunch of good bacteria out of her). She's in recovery mode at the ICU which is great news. She didn't have much of an appetite last weekend, but since has regained that as well and threw back a burger and fries the other day hoping for a rotisserie chicken to follow. (Nice! - a milk shake and foot long to go with that? :) )
Anyway, I was lucky enough to spend last weekend with her family, and had the honor of watching Sofia for a good part of the weekend. What a dreamy little girl... the bluest eyes with dark eyelashes and smiles and gurgles of happiness all day long (well, unless she was a little overtired, but who doesn't get cranky in that case!). She and I had a few walks around the neighborhood. It was a joy for me...
E! You'll be home before you know it!!

  2. E - You're a rockstar! You can even liven up a dull room with U2 blasting from your iPOD speakers and a sweet ACDC bandana... never losing style, chica :) Love it! xoxo Audrey

  3. Hi Erika,
    You are in my prayers every night. The power of prayer and positive thinking will undoubtedly pull you through. And, of course, that precious baby girl of yours must be the angel watching over you =)
    Stay strong!!
    Love, Gina Gilmore (DiMeco)
