She still wears a brace on her leg and has scars above her left knee and on her upper left thigh. She also had pieces of both lungs removed. Her then boyfriend, now husband, Alex's father brought her the blanket she is wrapped in when she was in the hospital for treatment. Alex's family is Osage. The portrait was taken by David Morris, who was working on series of portraits of people in Kansas City, after Erica lost her hair during teatment.
