More shots...this time for you

Now that Eric is finished with his shots I need to remind you about a shot that you all need, your flu shot. Eric will not be getting the flu shot, even if he did the chemo would just destroy it anyway, so I am here to nag you to get yours! If you interact with Eric at all (or even if you don't), you need to have your flu shot. The flu is very difficult to fight off with no immune system. My family will be getting ours on Monday, Hailey, mom, dad, & KT already have theirs...so it's your turn! It's important to note that the flu mist vaccine is different from the flu shot. The flu mist (the nasal spray version of the vaccine) contains the live flu virus, if you get this version please stay away from Eric for 2 weeks following as he can get the flu from this version. Eric has an appt. with the radiologists today to come up with a plan for his radiation following the chemo. He's doing well, but if I must say he needs to drink more fluids, drink Eric drink!! (Eat too!)

Well it sounds like there is no fun in any of this . . . hope you get to feeling better now the shots are over. As always you are in our prayers. And thanks Brandi/Hailey for providing timely info so we don't have to bug Eric.
The pic's were great they remind us to smile.
Love Mark & Pam
