At the hospital, Erica underwent surgery on her large intestine, where one of the bullets had lodged. The operation was successful, although it left her with a colostomy bag taped to her abdomen. Now Erica's Mother, Shameka, has to adjust to all of her daughters medical needs. Here she changes her daughters colostomy bag on the living room couch "this is the first time I have ever had to do something like this...I don't know how I'm going to get trough all of this." She said while changing Erica's bag. "I just felt that it should have been me instead of my kid," Harris said. "I just felt that she didn't deserve it, and to see her in the hospital, seeing her in bed, to see her at her weakest... it was hard."
