Fourth Floor

Erica moved out of the ICU last night and back onto the fourth floor of the Weinberg building. She can receive flowers on four. PET-SCAN this morning. Hopefully, it is not long or too uncomfortable.

Erica,

You may not remember me, but I used to work with you and your sister at Upton Hill way back in the day and I still keep in touch with some of the old group, including Karen, who let me know about your surgery. Just wanted to add my wishes for a speedy recovery to all the sentiments posted here.

Erica-

So glad I finally swindled my way in to see you last night. Even in ICU...the strength I saw in those few moments was amazing...and selfishly reassuring. You are on the job and we are with you every step of the way. Love you girly!

Liz

Karen said...

I can tell from the comments here that you are surrounded by a great group of loving friends and family. My prayer is that you are uplifted and sustained by all these positive thoughts and prayers with which you are surrounded as you continue with treatment. May you find healing, feel comforted and remain hopeful.
