Yesterday was another rough day for Jessica. She is still battling the infections and still having fevers and with that increasing pain. She was put back on a continuous IV infusion of ketamine, along with another medication for the pain. Also, another doctor was called in to try to figure out the proper antibiotics that will work for her infections. My wish is for her to feel somewhat better for her birthday which is this Friday - January 15th. She is a fighter and I am amazed everyday at her perseverance and strength, but we do ask God to "lighten her load" a little bit today!

Hope this day finds you all well!

Till tomorrow,
Jessica's Mom*

  1. I was reading some Psalms the other day. Here are some verses I took from various Psalms:

    Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken thos who seek you.
    Arise, Lord! Lift up you hand O God. Do not forget the helpless.
    You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry.
    I trust in your unfailing love,
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.
    Keep me safe, O God for in your I take refuge. I will praise the Lord who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
    I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayers.
    I love you, O Lord, my strength.

    May the Lord answer you when you are in distress.
    May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
    May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
    May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

    We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.

    May the Lord grant all your requests.

    These verses just reminded me of who God is. I thought they might encourage you as you wait on Him.

    With love & prayers,
    The Turners

  9. To,Sarah:First off,"Happy Belated, 29+,Birthday".I wish you + Jessica,that this year,"2010", will be,a very special one.Since,it is the beginning of a new decade,Technology has come so far,since the,1900's. If Jessica, Devon,and the rest of the RSD patients, had this disease, way back then, doctors would have sent you right home,and probably would, have just given them, "An Aspirin". So,even though,I am not a medical person,I thought,maybe this story,I wrote,would keep your spirits,up. Love,Nicole E.
