Dear Miss Congeniality (opps! I mean Warrior Woman!),

Jessica, I cannot blame you one bit for wanting to get to L.A. and Tahoe for your Christmas surprise. I urge you not throw caution to the wind and forgo the radiation until after Christmas since you are rather symptomatic. Further, not knowing your location in relation to Tahoe or L.A., I am wondering whether you will be flying to those destinations? Just thinking of the effort to maneuver the airports and even the pressure within the cabin of the plane and how you may be affected in terms of your shortness of breath and swelling.

I will keep your needs in my prayers! This is the season of miracles!
