Hi to all our family and friends,
Jessica can use a few extra prayers or "shout-outs" to God from you all today! The doctors are still trying to uncover what medication Jessica's body is reacting to. You see, even here in Mexico as in other hospitals before, she does not "present" or follow the patterns of other patients. Her reactions to different combinations of medicines are not of the norm. Just as her illnesses have not followed a typical presentation in their complexity. Speaking from experience, as I have been in many hospitals before between my daughter Jessica and my husband David - always remember this --- YOU know the patient the best! Better than the nurses and better than the doctors. You are their caretakers and more importantly, their advocates, and it is OK to express your concerns and explain what works and doesn't work for the patient - your loved one! I think that ultimately it helps them, it helps you, and more importantly it helps the patient!
So, THANK YOU, for continued prayer for my sweet Jessica, and may God bless you all. You are all in my thoughts and prayers - STAY WELL!
Love,
Sarah Gina
(Jessica's Mom)

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah and Jessica - Here on Friday thinking of you and praying that this challenge too will be overcome. Will miss you when I visit Florida next week but do hope that by the time I make my next trip down, we'll all be together laughing at Buca di Beppo in Naples. Love, Barbara
ReplyDeleteSarah Gina, this is for all the ones that love you so.

Dear Jessica and Gina,
ReplyDeleteI just read an interesting quote - "Out of difficulties grow miracles." We'll keep praying.
God Bless,
Linda
Hi Jessica and Mrs. Stevens,
ReplyDeleteWe will continue to pray alongside so many others. I know how difficult it is to be "outside the norm" and symptoms are unexplainable. We too were in many hospitals with the same response, "We've never seent this." As frustrating as that is, you are so right, YOU know us better than anyone. We will continue to be praying for you and for wisdom for all the doctors involved. I sent Jessica one of my top favorite songs that I used to listen to when I was struggling. (The list is probably at least a mile long but this is one of them.) :) It's called "Promise of a Lifetime" by Kutless. The link is included below:
