Update on Jessica:
Yesterday was moving day! I spent the good portion of the afternoon moving all of our "stuff" from Room 844 to Room 845. We have been having some problems with noisy air conditioning vents in that room and when the room next door became available, I asked the nursing supervisor if we could move. You see, Jessica is still experiencing the extreme noise sensitivity and still needs to wear the noise-cancelling headphones. Although we have been able to eliminate the ear plugs she was also wearing under them, she can still hear sounds very loudly. For example, she can hear the music playing at the nurses station at night - this is down two long hallways from our room! Also, she could hear Dr. Cantu coming, from far away, when he recently had a cold and was coughing - she would say: "Here comes Dr. Green Shirt - I know that cough!" And, by the way, this was through his mask!
Cathy Emmanuel, Devon's mom, helped me move and let me tell you - it was not an easy task! You don't realize how much "stuff" you can accumulate in only 2 1/2 months that we have been here! So, we are now officially in Room 845!
I would also like to thank a special visitor who came to the room Monday afternoon - Brother Angel. He is well known to Dr. "Rainbow" and her husband Dr. Zavala. He is a Franciscan Monk and he had heard thru them about Jessica's "special" case and wanted to visit with her, pray for her, and get to know her a little better. He came with our sweet Dr. Rainbow and he spoke pretty good English, although he didn't think so! He is also a very accomplished cartoon artist and has promised to draw her a cartoon and bring it with him on his next visit. He said some prayers for Jessica, including special ones for her eyes, and he then asked Jessica to pray for him as well! He said he believes that those who are ill have a special calling as well! Brother Angel hopes to become a priest in his order in the next 2 years. We look forward to his next visit real soon!
"This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us".
I John 5:14
All our love,
Jessica's Mom

PS will be at tropical smoothie cafe today in Naples for the fundraiser!
Dearest Jessica and Gina, I am so glad you moved, even if it is next door. The lack of persistent noise will hopefully mean better rest for Jess, and a change of scenery is always interesting. Prayers will continue to come your way from up here in GC. Good luck with the fundraiser in Florida tonight- I hope that someone in Florida will have a tropical smoothie for me! Hang in there, lovely ladies. Love always, Angel
