Sitting Up

I spoke with Erica this morning and she is doing well. She is a little out of breath, but the nurses had her sitting up in her chair this morning! They should be moving her out of the ICU today and I believe to the 4th floor, but as soon as I get word, will post a blog. Soon Erica will be running marathons again!

Out of the ICU and ice chips - that is awesome Erica:)

A quick message for Judy... http://baltimore.about.com/od/fooddrink/tp/ThanksgivingDinner.htm

lists local restaurants that are open on Thanksgiving. ESPN Zone (turkey and footall!), Rusty Scupper and Della Notte are relatively close to the hospital. I'd recommend they call for hours and to determine if they need a reservation.... XOXO Kelly
