UPDATE ON JESSICA:
Jessica and I had a scare in our old room which I thought I would share with you all. The night before we were set to move out of room 844, I was standing at the sink and all of a sudden I felt something fall onto my shoulder. As I looked down to the floor I saw a giant bug scurrying on the floor! It was black and green and BIG and I knew I had to corner it quickly or there would be no sleeping in that room that night! Jessica heard me and asked what was going on? I told her I was trying to find the bug that had fallen out of the air conditioning vent. She started to scream! You see, she does not like anything to do with bugs anymore after being bit by the tick at camp that summer of 2003 and I can't blame her for this fear at all! (Ticks and the infections they can give you, such as Lyme disease, babesiosis, bartonella, etc., to name a few, are no laughing matter - we know this all too well - unfortunately!) I was able to get the wastebasket and capture the bug underneath the rim. With Jessica screaming I proceeded to run quickly to the nurses station to get some help! As I approached the desk I saw one man and about 6 nurses standing there. In my panic to get help fast, I said the following to them in spanish: "Necesito un hombre muy grande para ayudarme --- tengo un "cucharita" en mi cuarto"!!! They ALL began to laugh? They all, in unison, said: "Un "cucharita" o un "cucaracha"???? Apparently --- I had asked for help in getting a "Teaspoon" out of our room, instead of a "BUG"!!! I guess my spanish is not very good in panic situations! With that - 3 nurses ran to the room, and, with Jessica still screaming, they unleashed the bug from under the wastebasket, and the rest is history!!!
Just another day in the Hospital San Jose Tec de Monterrey!
Jessica will most likely receive a booster today, depending on her blood counts. Her left side of her body seems to be doing better than the right side, so we hope she can get the added relief that only boosters can give her! Please pray for Jessica to have some added pain relief today. Also, please pray for Devon who is still here, and Justin, who returned last night for some added treatments here in Mexico.
Special thanks go out to Nancy and Team Jessica for the successful fundraising event at Tropical Smoothie Cafe last night and thank you to all who attended! I understand that they enjoyed great smoothies and wraps, all for a great cause - to help our Jessica and our family as well! We really have such great friends - our new "extended family" and we are truly blessed and honored to call them our "friends". God is truly a good and awesome God in that he always provides our needs!
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, and who have been called according to his purpose". Romans 8:28
In God's love,
Jessica's Mom

Bracelets were a huge success at Garden City Middle School! I wanted to share how proud I am of Michele and friends for making beautiful "Hope For Jessica" bracelets. They were a big hit with students and staff and we sold out the first day! The staff were so touched by the girls' efforts that we are going to have a "dress down day" to raise our own money for Jessica.
