DAY 5 - LAST DAY OF COMA

Hi to all our loved ones,

SHE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning Dr. Cantu and his team will begin the process of bringing Jessica out of the ketamine coma! He wants to do it slowly so that she wakes up on Friday - the 27th. I knew my Jessica could do it and she did!

I can only say that I am completely in awe of my daughter Jessica. These past five days have been truly amazing. To see what she is enduring in the hopes of a "pain-free" and functioning life, is so inspiring to me. I have felt my heart pounding with anticipation on how she will feel after this and what is in store for us in the difficult days ahead. I am so glad that Nita is coming to help us.

Apparently, when you come out of the coma, you can have vivid hallucinations, some of them frightening! You may not recognize your family at first and you may have visual problems and body movements that you can't control.

For me, I just can't wait to talk to her again and to tell her that I admire her so much and ask her what it felt like to be in the coma!
I guess in the days and weeks ahead we will know how successful the treatment is for Jessica.

Keep the prayers coming as she emerges from the coma. Our hope is for the miracle to happen for her and we pray that this will bring her a "rebirth" into a new life that is free of pain and sickness and only good things - she deserves it more than anyone I know!

I will keep you posted!

With renewed hope for Jessica,
Sarah Gina (Jessica's Mom)

  4. We hold both Jessica, her family and Sarah in our thoughts and prayers! We value our time together, the support we gather from each other, and the special gifts our girls will be able to give the world...once they are PAIN FREE! Our girls are such strong women...and it is their hope and strength that have brought us together in ICU. You are a special woman Jessica, and so is your mother! Emily's Family
