As many of you know, our vibrant and healthy Ericka experienced shortness of breath and was suddenly hospitalized when they discovered blood clots in her lungs.
We created this blog to keep you updated on her condition and to give you a place to share your loving thoughts, prayers, and support. If you would like to catch up from the beginning, be sure to scroll down and read the first post on March 25th. With each post, we have shared a picture of Ericka living her best life!
Also, Ericka’s employer has created a fundraiser to help her with her mounting expenses during this medical crisis. If you’d like to donate, you can click here.
We love and appreciate each of you for all you are doing to help Ericka return to her best life EVER! Love you all!
