Tomorrow...is only a day away

To All our Family and Friends,

In just one day we leave by air ambulance jet from Tampa, Fl. to Monterrey, Mexico. The final preparations on this end have been many...from last minute doctor appointments to getting all our medications in order, to packing everything you think you are going to need in one suitcase per person!
The aide who is coming with us, Jessie ( another Jessica!) arrived today. She will be with us for the beginning part of the hospital stay. Then we will be having Nita, Diane, Nancy, and ...... coming down to Monterrey to help us as well. This is something that I cannot do alone and we will need supportive help for Jessica both during and after the coma. God has truly blessed us with tremendous support from family and friends - we are so grateful.

Now, on a personal note, as a Mom, and as Jessica's Mom, I am constantly amazed at what the human body can endure, but more importantly what the human spirit is capable of ---- my daughter Jessica is truly amazing! She is the strongest person I will ever know and I know she will be able to dig down deep and fight really hard to emerge even stronger and so much better than before - she deserves it and I love her so very much, more than words can ever say!

The bible says in ISAIAH 41:13:

"For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and
says to you, DO NOT FEAR, I WILL HELP YOU."

Pray for Jessica.

Mom

  8. Thinking of You Jessica,
    taking your trip tomorrow and I came across this quote and thought of all your pain subsiding and you returning to us as the emerging butterfly!

    What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

    God Bless You and Your Mom and have a safe trip.

  13. Jessica and Gina -

    Your descriptive and informative blogsite has given me an even better understanding of your three-year journey and why you two remarkable women are now headed to Mexico. Your strength, endurance, perseverance, faith, and hope are inspirational! You are in my thoughts and heart day and night. I pray that this procedure succeeds and we can all look forward to Jessica's improved health.

    "If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it."

    With hope and love, Jane Garypie
