First Treatment Finished

Erica went up to Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore last Thursday for her 1st clinical trial treatment. All went well, although it was a long day. So far, all seems good, a few side effects and still a lot of fatigue.

Erica was able to get out a little this weekend and has been enjoying time with her brother Cory and her uncle David. They played a mean game of pinochle on Friday!

Erica will continue resting a recovering until the 4th week, when she is scheduled to return to the hospital for her next day of treatment.

Hey Erica! It was so great to see you on Saturday!! I know it was a little rough, but I'm so glad you were able to get out and celebrate with us. I have spring break next week, so once I figure out which day I need to hang out with my grandmother, I'll give you a call and see when I can come over for a visit. Rest up and I'll see you soon. Lots of prayers, love, and hugs-
