Update on Jessica:Jessica would like to thank the Mah family for such a generous outpouring of love and for such a wonderful job they have done with the necklace. She would also like to thank Cat Charles for remembering her in this special way and for Laci Corridor and everyone else for all their hard work as well. This is the first time that Lymelinks is "adopting" a patient with all the proceeds going towards helping with Jessica's medical bills through the Jessica's Journey Savings Club.
As you know, we are still in Mexico undergoing treatment for RSD with ketamine. It has been a struggle and their have been setbacks, but we remain hopeful that we can see a miracle unfold for her. Jessica is a fighter. She will continue this journey with her inner strength and faith in God to see her through! But, at the same time, she is constantly strengthened by the love from all of you - and she wants you to know how thankful she is and how appreciative she is to all of you as well! Her battle is a daily one; fought against two foes: RSD and Lyme. The hope is that one day, through research, they will find a cure for both illnesses!!! Let us all pray for that!!!
Pray for Jessica today as she receives another ketamine booster for her pain, especially on the entire right side of her body. Also, pray for her "static vision" to go away, so that she can see normally again! Also, pray for the severe headaches to go away and with that the extreme noise & light sensitivity as well. Pray for increased movements in her legs, so that one day she will be able to walk again!
Remember this: With each new dawn there is delivered to your door a fresh, new package called "today". God has designed each of us in such a way that we can handle only one package at a time...and all the grace we need will be supplied by Him as we live out that day!
"Those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, o Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You".
Psalm 9:10
In God's love,
Sarah Gina (Jessica's Mom)

ReplyDeleteJessica's eyes are so beautiful! I remember them so well!
ReplyDeleteMay God touch your eyes sweet Jessica and give you TODAY'S gift of clear vision and relief from pain!
Prayer warriors are all around the earth with a clear vision of what we ask for today. Blessings on the Stevens Family and thanks and love to all those that love them so much!!
What a wonderful testimonial you are creating Jessica. Baby steps as Dr. Cantu works his plan of action and God makes all miracles possible!
In loving prayer,
Nancy
At Sunday Mass the priest asked for those that were in need of prayer. Of course I called out "Jessica" so again another entire churchful of parishoners prayed for you. I hope that these prayers gave you extra strength.

Hi! Melisa again =) I was hoping you could email me soon please!
ReplyDeleteML77549@appstate.edu. Thank you!
Dear Jessica,
ReplyDeleteYour necklace has sold 26 pieces so far! You are loved and your strength is admired. A lady bought your necklace so her daughter could have strength going for her first IV treatment. You have inspired us to be better. Our young son, Tristen, knows your name and wears the ribbons. Of course he says Lego more than Jessica, but his heart is in the right place.
We are praying for you. God bless you for being brave!
Brian and Michelle Mah (and Tristen)
HI Jessica and Gina
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is gorgeous and I can't wait to wear it. I will wear it in your honor and those afflicted with Lymes Disease and RSD.
My prayers continue to be for healing for your pain, healing in your legs, your headaches and relief from the static vision you continue to be plagued with.
Stay strong and know that God is with you and your family.
Jenn
Dear Gina & Jessica -- The necklace is so very lovely! It is most certainly a "must have" not only because it is positively beautiful but because of all that it stands for! Thoughts and prayers are sent your way to get better each and every day. With our love . . . The Klatt Family
ReplyDeleteGood morning Jessica and Gina,
ReplyDeleteAnother day dawns here on LI. It's cloudy now, but sunny skies are predicted for the afternoon. Just like the weather changes so can our lives. I pray for good changes in your lives...that Jessica may be free from pain and that she may see God's beautiful world through perfect vision once again. I pray for a day of miracles, even small ones. God's blessings on you both!

Hi Jessica and Gina, I have returned to the blog! I was having problems and error messages trying to get on, but I am back. The necklace is gorgeous! I can't wait to get it and wear it. I wrote a comment to the Mahs when I ordered it, since there was a place that you could write one. As I read it back to myself, I was thinking that I would like you to see it too, since it was written from the heart. So, I copied it (I hope the Mahs don't mind) and here it is:
ReplyDeleteJessica Stevens is an extraordinary person. She is going through an extremely difficult trial with patience, grace, and deep faith. At her young age, she is an inspiration to all. Her mom, Gina, is a living example of the depths of a mother's love for her child. Gina is steadfast in her prayer life, her faith and hope for her beloved child, even while simultaneously immersed in the real-time extreme stress and challenge of living in a hospital environment, away from her family and friends. It is a testament to the way Gina lives her life that she has invented the "Ketamine Coma Bear" for other patients and doctors and constantly finds ways to make others more comfortable in difficult surroundings. She has always been this way, always finding the positive in every single situation. David, Jessica's dad and Gina's husband, is a man of deep faith and love and support for his beloved family. Katherine and Michelle, Jessica's younger sisters, have also dealt with this difficult time with patience, understanding, and support for their sister, who they love so much.
I am so happy that the necklace you created for Jessica is so beautiful, because these are truly beautiful people you are honoring here. I am humbled at the many sacrifices that they have all had to make over the past few years, and the radical pure faith that they live by every single day, minute by minute. The crystal will reflect the light in many different ways, just as Jessica and Gina reflect the light of faith and hope through their daily struggles, and share their experiences with us all through the blog. The bail is the ribbon, which binds people who are fighting against illness of all types and reminds them and us all that we are each stronger than we think. Finally, the necklace itself is a reminder- a way that all of us who are wearing it and walking in prayer along with Jess and Gina on their journey can be connected to them even though we are apart for now.
Thank you for giving me the space to say this.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and cherish the time you can spend with your family and friends.
With appreciation and gratitude,
Angel D'Antonio
I love you guys. Hang in there!! Love always, Angel
p.s. I went over to the rectory at St. Joseph's Church and put Jessica's name on our prayer list. So now another whole congregation will be praying for Jessica!! xoxo
Dear Jessica and Gina,
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is absolutely beautiful. As said earlier not only the beauty of it but for what is stands for. I will be so proud to wear it, in your honor and tell everyone I can about you. May God continue to bless you each day. Love, Marianne & Rob
