Happy Halloween from Monterrey!

Today is Halloween and the holiday is celebrated here in Mexico as well. The children wear costumes and go from house to house for candy treats, but, unlike the USA, they do not say "Trick or Treat"; they say "Halloween, Halloween!". Jessica is going to wear a "green shirt" and dress up as Dr. Cantu, and I am going to wear a hospital gown and dress up as a "ketamine coma patient!" (You have to do something to not go crazy, especially after being in a hospital for 2 1/2 months now!) I understand that my daughter Michelle in N.Y. is dressing up as Bazooka Bubble Gum and my older daughter Katherine, who is away at college, is dressing up as a policewoman, and her boyfriend Paul is going as a prisoner.

Update on Jessica: Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. Jessica was running low grade fevers and so cultures were drawn on her J-tube site. Today the fevers seem to have stopped, thank God! Jessica received another ketamine booster and so we continue on the path of "small steps", as Dr. "Green Shirt" always says! She is still experiencing troubles with her vision, or "static vision" and last night we had a special visitor who came to say some special prayers for Jessica's vision to return! I will tell you more about this in an upcoming blog.

We ask for continued prayers for Jessica's healing and restoration of her sight. Please pray also for her fellow coma buddy - Devon - as she had some mouth surgery performed yesterday and is experiencing some difficulties with her healing as well. We have gotten very close with them since we have both been here for the same amount of time, and even though our paths to getting here are very different, these two young ladies - Jessica and Devon - fight hard each day to try to get back to some semblance of a "normal" life - free of RSD and of all of the symptoms it causes!

So, go out today, and have fun "Trick or Treating" and handing out candies to all the children in their costumes! Life is all about living and making all of those memories that come to mean so much! May God bless you all and keep you safe in his care!

"The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." Psalms 121:7&8

From Monterrey, with love,
Jessica's Mom
