Recovering

Erica is slowly recovering from the surgery...or maybe faster than that since she walked around her unit 4 times today! She is still on the 4th floor of the Weinberg Building and on a clear liquid diet. Dinner tonight: jello, juice and tea! She will be discharged from the hospital either Friday or Saturday.

Good morning Erica...

So glad to hear that your recovery is going well so far. Will have some ice chips, jello and tea in your honor today :).

I pray that your body would heal quickly and painlessly.

With love,

Inger
