I just spoke briefly with Judy and Erica. Erica (and Christian) rested well at the hospital last night and Erica started her second series of treatment this morning. Erica is "super tired" and taking-up frequent napping again:) Art and Judy are with her and have reserved a local room to stay in Baltimore while she is in treatment. Christian will stay at the hospital with Erica and continue to zip back to work to handle jobs during the day. Tentatively, it looks like Erica will be in the hospital through Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Hi Erica: Round 2. Also known as "the sequel." Well, in this sequel - the good guys definitely prevail over the bad guys. That means Erica, her doctors and her medical treament banish the cancer army from her body! Seriously - I wish you the best in your second hospital stay and look forward to visiting you this weekend. Stay strong! Love, Jim
Hi Erica--
Just wanted to make sure you knew there was lots of love and positive vibes coming your way from the 1st Rd S gang!
Much love--alissa, gary, jake, brody, & jazz
the last two weeks i have thought of how much courage it would take to go back for more treatment after knowing how difficult it was the first time...i feel like i am beginning to understand what courage means in a deeper way and i am reminded of a quote by mark twain, "courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it."
i am inspired by your courage erica...i am keeping you in thought, envisioning you in perfect health, and sending you love and light.
-Tricia
