DAYS 3 & 4 - MEXICO COMA

Hi to all from Mexico,
Jessica is entering Day 4 of the coma at 4:00 PM today and oh, how these days seem so long! Dr. Cantu, Dr. Luis, Dr. Fernando, and all the team are amazing. Today I have been told not to talk to Jessica as these next 2 days before emerging from the coma are supposed to be quiet, as her brain needs to rest and get ready for the hard days ahead. She does seem more restful today than the past 3 days and the lesions on her arms, stomach, and legs are dramatically lessening and appear less red and angry looking.
I do tell her I am in the ICU room with her and I know, as only a mother can know, that she hears me and senses my presence with her. Tomorrow, our dear friend Nita, who is also a nurse, is coming to Mexico to help Jessica in those first difficult days of coming out of the coma. I am told that we will need to be fully rested in order to help Jessica the most, as sleep during those days for Nita and I will be minimal.

On a personal note, I wanted to thank Debbie and the Wilford family who are also here with their loved one Emily, who is undergoing the ketamine coma at the same time as Jessica. They have been so helpful and supportive down in the ICU. Also, the Brown family who have been in Mexico since July with their son Justin, who also underwent the coma treatment. They are so helpful in that they have been here and know the "ropes", so to speak. Along with the Emmanuel family, who are also waiting, we "americanos" have a special bond in that we all have a loved one who has been suffering with RSD and the widespread unbearable pain it causes! Even here, God has blessed me with support from fellow english-speaking americans from the USA.

Till tomorrow, and in God's love, always
Jessica's Mom

God Bless Jessica and all those who are ill.
