R2D2

Round 2, Day 2. Erica feels good for spells (including a walk on the treadmill this morning) and feels tired and nauseous for spells (napping likely this afternoon). All in all - a good day.

At this point in this course of treatment, Erica seems to feel better in the mornings and early part of the day. If you plan to visit this weekend, please feel free to check with Judy beforehand (703 906 6118) to see if Erica is feeling up to company. Erica really appreciates and enjoys visiting with everyone, but doesn't want anyone to travel to Baltimore just to watch her sleep:)

Erica,
I just heard from your dad that your are in the midst of your second round of treatment. Then I came here to the blog and was heartened to see all the postings, comments and pictures. I am so impressed - though not a bit surprised! - by your courage, determination and positive spirit. You are an amazing woman and if anyone can beat this thing you sure can! I know the healing power that loving family and friends can bring - and you sure have that in abundance! Hang in ther and continue to persevere. You're doing great!
Love,
Kathy Doxsee
