Smiles and Happy Thoughts

Erica is enjoying being home, although she still does not have a lot of energy. She is thankful for all the wonderful postings on the blog as we continue to update her and read them to her. All of them put a smile on her face! She has a slightly better appetite, but still is taking it slowly and drinking tons of Green Tea and Vitamin Water!

Keep up the happy thoughts and postings so she can continue smiling and fighting to get better!
