Happy Valentine's Day to you, Maura. So many people love you and are glad you are a part of their lives.
This week it's been daily lab work and her weekly shots. And the stitches had to be replaced on her central line--two of the three little stitches that anchor the device, holding it in just the right place on her chest, had broken. Ouch. But not too bad. Maura said that this time the lidocaine worked. Oh, and Maura had a transfusion of platelets on Thursday.
About Me
- Erin
- This is a picture of my daughter, Maura. She died from metastatic high-grade unclassified sarcoma* on May 19, 2009 at the age of 22. For one year I wrote about her journey with cancer. I don't know if I'll keep writing now or if I'm done. We'll just take it a day at a time. *Sarcoma is a little-known, under-researched, under-funded cancer. To contribute directly to research please consider giving a gift directly to: MD Anderson Cancer Center- Donations, PO Box 4486, Houston TX 77210-4486 ****(Please write "In memory of Maura de Souza " in the memo portion of the check to make sure it goes directly for sarcoma research.)
