Hi to all our family & friends,

Please pray for Jessica today as she has not been feeling very well these past few weeks. The gastrointestinal problems coupled with the pain she has been experiencing on the entire right side of her body and the severe headaches and vision problems, have made her feel like she "has been hit by a bus". Dr. Cantu ("Green Shirt") gave her a booster yesterday and he is trying everything he can to get her to feel better. Dr. Rainbow also came by, as she does every day, and brought her custards and some other things to try as well. Thank you all for all your continued prayers for Jessica's healing! Pray that she feels better really soon.

I can't believe how quickly the holiday season has come and how very soon another Christmas will be upon us! We have decided that it is important for us to be together for Christmas, as we have never had one apart, even though the past few have not been all we had hoped for with Jessica so ill. So David has checked with his doctors and is cleared to come to Mexico for a few days with our other daughters Katherine and Michelle. I can't wait to see them since the last time we were together was in August before coming to Mexico! I have a small "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree in our room that was given to us by Pastor Browning when he was here from N.Y. Dr. Rainbow also bought us balls and tiny lights for the tree. The "angel" topper to the tree was given to us by Cecilia when she was here. So, when the family arrives, we will have "Christmas in Monterrey". It will certainly be a different type of Christmas for us, but, as long as we are all here and spend a few days together as a family, that's what is most important!!!

In God's love,
Jessica's Mom

"But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy". Titus 3:4&5

  1. Good morning Jessica and Gina,
    Winter has arrived here on LI...a chilly 34, but the sun is shining after a day of a cold rain yesterday. I pray and hope that the sun shines in your lives today and that there is some relief of Jessica's pain. Today at church, I know that there will be prayers for Jessica and I will continue to pray for her healing.
    How wonderful that your family will be together for Christmas!
    Keep the faith...our prayers are being heard!
    God's blessings on you both!

  2. I am really hoping that Dr. Cantu is able to figure out how to relieve some of the added pain and illness that Jessica is experiencing. I have suffered many migraines over the years and coupled with the nerve pain, these can be excruciating. I will continue praying that God intervene.

    How wonderful that you are already putting up a few decorations for the season. I hope that it does something to lift spirits when they are low. I know that "hit by a truck" feeling and it does knock the spirits down from time to time.

    The wind has been blowing here on the island. Kept me awake through the night both with the sound and my body which reacts negatively to the changes. But the sun is shining this morning and that is a spirit lifter in itself.

    My husband began to decorate for Christmas yesterday. It is something we have often done together over the years I have been sick, but this year he is on his own. It is interesting to watch a new eye for where things should go!

    I sent you an email with a couple of questions so if you get a chance can you respond?

    I am thrilled to pieces that you will all be together for Christmas. It doesn't matter where you are just that you are together!

    Hope your day goes well and talk to you very soon

    Sending love and prayers your way,
    Fern

  3. Dear Jessica & Gina,
    Last week "on Thanksgiving" I was cleaning the last roasting pan. I didn't know someone had put the turkey carving knife in the sink, I went full force onto the knife and needed six stitches to close it, Jessica the whole time in the ER all I could think about was you, The pain was indescribable, They couldn't get me numb to stitch, For those moments I got a glimpse of what your pain has been for all these years, You are such an inspiration to everyone, Your courage and strength leave me in awe, I continue to pray for you everyday, I'm so happy you will all be together for christmas. May God bless you always. Love, Marianne

  6. Christmas together as always.
    This is good news.

    Sunday night is teen night Mass in Saratoga. These are some of the words to the communion song COME TO THE LORD. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Children do not fear. Though you suffer as I suffered, I am always near. Come to the Lord; come to the table of lasting life. Bring your burden; tjere's no price, just come to the Lord.

    love from Saratoga,
    Linda
