First, I would like to say THANK YOU for all of your comments and well wishes on the blog yesterday for my birthday - they all meant so very much to me!
All the doctors and nurses wished me a Happy Birthday and they said I didn't look a day over 30 (haha)! Dr. Cantu's wife Gloria sent me a beautiful mustard-colored scarf - I love it! Also, Dr. Rainbow came over with her husband Manuel and Clarissa and Eugenio (two of her grandchildren) to wish me well and to meet Jessica. They brought over a giant balloon, birthday signs, personalized stationery, wine, and a homemade flan (my favorite dessert after tiramisu)! Rick Brown, Justin's Dad bought me pistachios - one of my weaknesses! Also, Angeles, one of Jessica's nurses gave me a beautiful bracelet. So, all in all, my 51st birthday, in the Hospital San Jose Tec de Monterrey, was pretty nice indeed! THANK YOU TO ALL!!!
I am now in a countdown to my sweet Jessica's 22nd birthday which is in 4 days - on Friday, January 15th! Don't forget my wish - for her to receive the most comments on the blog that day!!! I know my fellow bloggers will come through for me!!!
Update on Jessica:
She is still fighting 3 infections and still running fevers. She is currently on 2 antibiotics - tigecycline & levaquin - as they are the ones that are sensitive for her infections. Also, the day before my birthday she had to have her central catheter changed as it became infected as well. Please pray for Jessica to feel better for her birthday on Friday! God is in control, this we know, so we patiently await for His miracles to continue to unfold!
Also, my husband David did finally leave the hospital yesterday in N.Y. It was determined that he indeed was having a flare-up of his Crohn's disease, and so he will be on a more regimented course of Remicade infusions to keep his illness under control.
Once again, Thank You All for all your love and support and birthday wishes for me yesterday - I am honored to have you all as "family & friends".
Special Happy Birthday to Jodi from Team Jessica - who turns 5o! today, and also to my friend Paulette in N.Y!
In God's love,
Sarah Gina*

I am thrilled to hear that you indeed had a wonderful birthday and were showered with love, locally.
ReplyDeleteAnother great gift was that David was allowed to return home from the hospital! Sorry to hear that he will need more intensive treatment for a while but glad he was able to join you for Christmas and maybe that made it all worthwhile.
Jessica, it is my sincerest hope that you will be feeling infection free by your birthday and that these next few days bring you some relief. It is not an easy ride, but thankfully you have faith in a God who moves mountains and will ultimately win this battle over you!
This morning I will be heading to the hospital myself. I will be getting a booster that I hope is strong enough to do me some good. I will think of both of you while I am there.
May God guide you today.

ReplyDelete3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
I read this and thought of you sitting next to Jessica's bed every day waiting in expectation.
May He bless your faith and heal your sweet Jessica and your husband, David. May He continue to strengthen you as you wait patiently for His miracles to unfold!
With love & prayers,
The Turners
