I'm baaaaaack! - jaci
First, thanks Nurse Bossy Bessy for all your attention and love bestowed upon Erica in my stead! Secondly, if you would like to call Erin $maker, be sure to do so within the next twelve hours since she arrives in Boston tonight. And my third shout-out is to our cousin, Robby & his wife Emi: CONGRATULATIONS on the pregnancy! We look forward to spoiling him or her. :)
As far as Erica goes, the last four days has been a blur of morphine and headaches. Her teeth ache as well as the hair on her head--similar to when one's hair has been up in a tight pony tail. Her stomach aches have completely subsided and thanks to the drugs, she sleeps the day away.
The Fletcher School has an annual Faculty-Waits-On-You Dinner which includes an auction. This year all the proceeds are going to the Boston chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of Erica. I have been invited to attend so I will happily report on the evening's festivities in the next blog!
Finally, thank you to everyone who has sent care packages. You know who you are and Erica is deeply touched!! Not to mention, our tummies are happy and full. :)
Lt. Leslie Edwards has written a walking cadence in honor of Erica's stay here at Brighams & Womens to the tune of a traditional army song:
On top her head she wore a freezing ice pack,
She wore it in the morning and the rest of the day.
And if you ask her why the heck she wore it,
She wore for those headaches that would not go away!
In her arm, she has an IV line,
She has it in morning and the rest of the day,
And if you ask her why the heck she has it,
She has it for the cocktails that take her pain away!
Behind her door, she has a pump to sanitize,
She has it for the germs that dance around all day,
And if you ask her why the heck she has it,
She has it for her peeps to take the germs away!
Please note that Erica now EAGERLY anticipates a (PG!) rugby song from Jamie, Marie, and/or Chris! :) Jump on it!!!

I love that hair! It's way hotter on you than it was on Natalie Portman. Is it bad to say "hot" now (because of Paris Hilton)? On that note, I have another Star magazine to send you. Admit it, you can't wait.

hey girl. first of all, i must say that i am terribly impressed by the level of cuteness of you in all the pictures. when i was in the hospital years back (for nowhere near as long or as intimidating a reason) i had zero pictures in which i didn't look like a zombie. secondly, i'd like to take a moment to praise jaci on being an amazing sister. i'm sure you've heard it already, but it never hurts to give a hollah to those selfless folks who are there in times of need. thirdly, i will be sending a care package from hawaii this afternoon, so start watching. and finally, i am thinking about you constantly and sending all the good energy I have to your well-being.
muah!

hi erica,
You still look amazing with the short hair ... hope you are doing well there, is it still ok to send stuff to the hospital address or should I send cards etc to another address?
