Special Prayers Needed!!!

Hi to all,

Just wanted to ask everyone to please pray extra hard for Jessica today. Yesterday afternoon, Jessica started to have fever. It went as high as 104.5. Tests were taken and we await their results, but because Jessica's blood counts are very low and she is very susceptible to infection and because the fever was so high, she required a blood transfusion, as well as oxygen 24/7. Other tests are going to be performed to see what the cause of the infection could be. Please keep her in your prayers today!

Jesus, you are the ultimate healer. We ask that you watch over and protect Jessica today, as you have and continue to do. In Jesus' name we pray and ask and believe. Amen.

Thanks to all,
Jessica's Mom

  6. Jessica,
    Time for you to literally just chill. Take off the sunglasses, remove the noise cancelling headphones & play some good music that will bring back another good memory. You can beat this, Jessica. RSD and Lyme can not hold you down. The infection is yet another hurdle that I know you will leap over ASAP.
    You continue to be in my prayers.
    Love and blessings,
    Emily Wilford

  7. Today was a special day for the Maitan family at church. Today my nephew's second set of beautiful girl twins were christened in the Presbytarian Church in Huntington. And today at that church when asked who needed prayers I called out"Jessica Stevens" So your prayers were answered that lots more prayers were coming. Wish I could do more.
    Hoping you have a peaceful uneventful night. Hoping that both of you can sleep.

  9. Dear Jessica and Gina, Hang in there! We are praying for you and thinking about you day and night. God is with you in your darkest hours even when you can't feel Him. Your friends are surrounding you with prayer, which reflects and magnifies the light that shines from inside you. Our rosary group starts up again this Friday and we will be keeping you in our intentions. Praying for peace and rest for you- love always, Angel

  10. Hi Jessica & Gina - you are in my prayers and thoughts every day - you're almost home..Just keep thinking positive thoughts which will bring you your positive outcome that you so righly deserve. My brother Vito wrote a book many many years ago called "Positive Thinking - The Key To Life" - and I believe that and I try to live that way too. In the book he used a phrase "it's only temporary, it won't last" - just remember "it's only temporary, it won't last".

  12. To Jessica's mom:

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your precious daughter.

    Jessica reminds me so much of my own daughter, who has also suffered with LD.

    In looking at Jessica's pictures, she could have easily been friends with my daughter.

    It has been bad for us, and we have hit rockbottom. But our experience pales in comparison to yours.

    I don't know how you have been able to cope with this, much less write about it. You are an extraordinarily strong woman with a very strong daughter. I am in awe of you both and your family.

    I will pray for Jessica, and pray for you and the rest of your family, as I'm sure many will.

    God bless you all.

  15. Hi Jessica you and your family do not know me, but I heard about your story on Lymenet and I want you to know that everyone is thinking of you and praying for you and your whole family.

    Many of us have Lyme, but very few have to endure what you have had to. You are so strong and I know God will see you through this.

    My whole family is praying for you and can't wait to see you up and running around again. You are a beautiful young lady and an inspiration to us all.

    You don't even know how many people you are touching.

    We love you and will pray for you every day,

    Elizabeth from Chico, CA

  18. Jessica,

    I found your blogspot link from lyme.net. I am so sorry for all you have suffered. I hope so much that this treatment is able to conquer the RSD and you will be able to pursue treatment for lyme again if needed (from what I understand this treatment is mainly for RSD?).

    You are a beautiful young lady and I can see how many wonderful people love and care about you dearly, you have touched many lives amidst your suffering.

    I have prayed for you and will continue to do so. God loves you so much more that any human being ever could and He desires the best for you. You will make a wonderful MD someday.

  20. Dearest Jessica, Sara Gina and Nancy, Keep in the forefront of your thoughts that Miracles are just a moment away. My husband, friends and family continue to pray for you all daily. As the song says: Our God is an Awesome God - He is able to perform Miracles we cannot even imagine. Keep in mind that Miracles have no range of difficulty, God can and does do it all, and I believe He is with you every minute of every day - and YOUR Miracle is just a moment away. With much love and many prayers, Joanne Hartman

  23. This weight loss drug is intended for patients 16 or older (but not younger) who are obese and have another serious condition. The patient would have to fall into the definition of obese based on a standard Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation and have one or more of the following conditions: high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure, according to Drugs.com One can easily get the information related to varied aspects of weight loss medication with us. Complete information regarding side effects, usage directions and complete guide for successful weight loss plan with phentermine is available with us. Phentermine is a very effective drug, and it has been formulated to help suppress appetite long enough for people to lose weight so they can avoid other serious health risks. It is not that the drug loses its effectiveness; it is simply that your body will eventually build a slight tolerance to it. Not to worry though, your body does this to almost any kind of drug if it's is introduced to it long enough. You will probably not find too many men in those kinds of weight loss programs that are structured so that you attend a weekly meeting to talk about your diet. They may feel a bit uncomfortable. You are more likely to find men at the gym working out rather than counting calories.
