Pale face has been very sick with a Strep throat infection and had very few moments of playing without crying.
Looking very serious - she is still sick in this picture and could not swallow without crying, but studiously managed to ring her doorbell - making it look like a very important job.
See Mum, this is how you make the doorbell ring.
( She is so white in this photo!)
I cant swallow and Im NOT HAPPY and you CANT MAKE ME HAPPY!!!
And reflecting on happier times... Heres Erika learning to ride her bike.
Eating by herself...
And even managing a laugh while giving Teddy a ride on her bike. 
Here Erika was admiring her cake and her new jacket. She liked her candles on her cake so much she wanted to eat them too!
