UPDATE

Hi to All,

To view Jessica on Fox TV, Click on Link Below:

I have two good things to report to all:

1) Jessica's fevers finally went away two days ago - thanks be to God. The new antibiotics definitely did the trick and so she will remain on those for another week to be sure that the infection stays away!
2) Jessica's Dad will be leaving the hospital today as well!


Thanks be to God, from whom all blessings flow!

Thought I would share this tip with everyone today. It is something that I use with Jessica and could be an invaluable tool for all those suffering with RSD. For the past few years I have been using a Travel Size Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. It is manufactured by Life Source and it sells for @ $90. With many RSD patients, they have an extreme sensitivity to touch. This monitor is put on the wrist and is much less painful than the standard blood pressure cuff that is put on the upper arm. The other thing that is great is that you can bring it with you on ambulances, to doctor's appointments, and even to hospitals, so that you can take your own readings! It also records up to 30 of your last readings so that you even have a record to show to the doctors as well. It is travel size and completely portable and it runs on batteries! It also has the ability to tell you when your heartbeat is irregular. I have been using it every day here in the hospital with Jessica. It is great --- just thought I would pass it on to all those suffering with RSD or really anyone that is ill. It can be purchased at a medical supply store or at (www.LifeSourceOnline.com). Hope it helps you as much as it has helped us!

Also - another great product we have used for Jessica and her Dad David and the family as well are the Vemma liquid vitamins and minerals. They also carry an energy supplement called Verve. There is a lot of information about these products on their website, so I recommend that you check them out. Also, proceeds from the sales of these products go to help Jessica and her journey. The website is as follows: www.hopeforjessica.vemma.com or also at www.vemma.com

Hope these tips can be useful!

Every day we are called to small things with great love.
..........Mother Teresa

In God's love, always
Jessica's Mom*

    More answers to prayers - God is good!

    Thanks for the tip on the Blood Pressure Monitor.

    May God heal your sweet Jessica very soon!

    Can Jessica move her arms and legs? Can she sit up? Is she eating again?

    With love & prayers,
    The Turners

    Psalm 28

    6 Praise be to the LORD,
    for he has heard my cry for mercy.

    7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
    My heart leaps for joy
    and I will give thanks to him in song.

    Barbara's due date is Sunday 1/24.
    She is very tired and going to work is difficult. We pray the Lord will give her and her son a good delivery on the day He chooses. Thinking of you. Happy to hear that everyone is improving.
    peace,

    Thanks for the tips and for the good news! We will send our praises heavenward for this step in the right direction. God is good to us no matter which direction we are headed but I am always thrilled to be able to offer heartfelt thanks when He answers in a way that we have been asking! :)

    Will be posting an update on my carepage today and since it has been a very long day so far, I will leave it to you to read it there rather than write it all again. I really need a nap now so will write more later.

    I rejoice with you today!

    Hi Gina and Jessica

    What wonderful news to hear that Jessica's fevers are down and that the antibiotics are working. That is definitely God working and watching over her.

    I also wanted to thank you for the information regarding Vemma. I'm definitely going to look into it. I'm extremely tired all day from my mediations and would prefer not to have to take any other medications to wake me up. It would be great if the energy product from Vemma could help me. So, thank you for passing along that information.

    As always, Jessica is in my prayers as well as your entire family.

    God Bless,
    Jenn

    Sarah Gina, I had the pleasure of meeting you the first of December when I was in Mexico with my brother in law. He was there for surgery for his ALS. He (Dan) was a few doors down from Jessica and you were so gracious to offer to translate for us if we needed it.I have been thinking about you and Jessica often and the other day found the website address that I had written down! I have been "catching up" on Jessica's progress. Praise the Lord that the fever has broken and that the antibiotics seem to be working. You amaze me with your eloquent words in your blogs. You are a great mom and a wonderful role model for following Christ and having faith. I am blessed to have met you. Please know that I am praying for you both.

    Hi Ladies..What great news. So happy the fevers are gone! Our prayers are heard in God's ears and he is GOOD!

    Wonderful that PapaDavid is going home too. Can only imagine how he worries about his GIRLS!

    I remember watching as you used the blood pressure wrist wrap. Even the doctor and the nurses were amazed how simple and accurate it was. Remember when it caught a fever that was coming on and the nurses said NO on their cuffs and sure enough..Jessica and the wrist band were right. That Jessica (and you) sure know her body!

    Thanks for mentioning the Vemma and Verve and the fundraiser. The vitamins are working wonders on folks as they are liquid and the site http://www.HopeForJessica.vemma.com is helping raise money the simple way and everyone benefits.

    Have sweet dreams and every day in every way you're getting better and better.
    :) XOXO

    Sarah and Jess,
    I'm so happy the antibiotics are working and the fevers went away. Now all we need to do is get you walking so you can escape. As you know you are in my old room, the one the great escape occurred in. I'm giving you a few more weeks and then I'm coming back and carrying you out myself. Sarah, you'll just have to pretend to be asleep on the couch and maybe lend me a few pesos so I can pay for a cab and the Hampton Inn. Jess, we'll drink Margs and lounge at the pool(I think we both need to work on our tans). But in all seriousness I'm glad the fever's down, this is just the start of more good things to come, i can feel it.

    I was wondering if they made more Jessica Steven's Lyme disease necklaces b/c I want to buy one. I still wear my orange Jessica's Journey bracelet but i need some Jessica bling on my neck. So if you guys could let me know when they're back on sale that would be great. I hope you have a good weekend and hopefully my Mom and I will skype soon(i want to tell you about our trip to Florida). I love you guys. Tell Justin, Rick, Dr. Cantu, Dr. Rainbow, and all the nurses I said hola.
    lots of love, Dev
