One Tough Mother.

Erica’s 3 month, full body CT scan results came in today — “No suspicious cancer activity. Fracture deformity noted within the right clavicle.”

I’ve not seen Erica more proud in the entire 30 years that we have been married. In my last post, I told how we’ve raised two very competitive boys. I thought they got that from me, but now I know otherwise. With a glow of pride in Erica’ face she responded, “Really, I broke my shoulder? I can’t wait to tell the boys.”

This news does not take away her shoulder pain and the challenge of already restricted movement, but it did confirm that her pain was not imaginary and the thrill of her bike wreck was worth it… And, the boys were impressed with how tough their mom is (although they already knew that).

This news came as we are relaxing with her aunt and cousin in Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, NC. Nothing like good home cooking and being near the sea to make everything feel better.

We are thankful that Erica’s body continues to be cancer free. As we wait for her next brain scan, she continues to work with speech and physical therapy to improve in all areas. We continue to learn how to support her in the day to day.

But this week, we are both enjoying a different pace of life.
