Hi to All,
As we speak, Nancy, who is here helping us, is on her way by mexican taxi to try and retrieve a Fed-Ex package that has been sitting in customs at the Monterrey airport. It seems that it is very difficult to get any type of medical supplies into Mexico, along with any type of food items. Contained in the package are special cushioning bandages that I need for Jessica so that she doesn't get any skin breakdowns. These bandages are costly and not available in this hospital. I had to send Nancy with our passports as well as a letter from the doctor stating that the bandages were a medical necessity! Pray that Nancy is successful or I guess I will have to talk to the American consulate here in Monterrey!
I don't know what I would have done without her today!
Jessica was able to retrieve more bits and pieces of her memory yesterday and we are still standing strong in the knowledge that it will all come back fully in the days ahead. She continues to experience different
side effects from the ketamine, some more disturbing than others. It is my hope that these will all go away really soon for her! They have a whole team of doctors here at the hospital who all speak english, but the nurses don't, so it can become difficult for her at times. Thank God I can speak understandable spanish - it has come in handy so many times already!
Thank you for all of your continued prayers for Jessica.
Till tomorrow,
Jessica's Mom

We are praying for you and Jessica here in Midlothian. You are constantly in our prayers. Many of my friends who know my daughter's RSD story, now know Jessica's story. You have a very special place in our hearts because we know RSD and we admire your courage and strength, but most of all, your faith!
ReplyDeleteIn faithful and trusting prayer for you and Jessica.

Yes, we had several trips to the airport for with very similar issues. I know several packages were also sent that never arrived. We can put a man on the moon but ask someone to send something to Mexico, look out. ;) I pray you were able to get the supplies you needed and without any more hassle.
ReplyDeleteWe continue to keep you all in our prayers here. I know these days must be incredibly difficult and draining beyond description but know that the Lord is walking each of these steps with you. I know at some of my darkest times, in which God felt silent and the most absent, are now days we are able to look back on and see his hand more defined than ever. At the time however, it certainly didn't feel that way.
We love you guys and keep praying...

hello.
ReplyDeleteIm Daniel, from Colombia southamérica.
i heard about you and Jessicas casa, thanks to VaughDe, Sarah´s Peterson mother. we are friends.
i am just reading about you, but so far i see, you are in Mexico, and Ketamine treatment is helping Jessica. i know she had HBOT sessions sometime. so i want to talk with you, to offer you help with this, becuase my father is MD here, and he has 2 hyperbaric hard shell chambers, and he has treated many lyme symptoms..
my mail: danielandrespat@hotmail.com
or in facebook you can look for me, with the same email..
wish you the best, and Jessica is in my thoughts too.
hugs.. hope to hear you soon
Danny
Hello again. i see your name is GINA, ... my pleasure to meet you
ReplyDeletethis is Daniel from Colombia.
i really sorry about how much you and Jessica have to pass through, but you are very inspiring and encouraging too.
I heard that Jessica is improving noticeable with Ketamine. do you still in México? for how much long?
i seems to have at least one of lyme coinfections, but i only found this recently,, so im learning about lyme from the begginig of this year..
since Jessica is finally improving in someway, and i hope this continues in the next months,, maybe when she is a little more able to function, and less delicate and disable,, you can see again the option to complement her recivery with HBOT (hyperbaric), if she could handle it the time you did that... or we can see options if we can help her somehow...
a big hug and message of love and support to your brave angel..
are you ok in Mexico or need any support. i have a few friend and family there!
