Yesterday in Hospital San Jose Tec:

Jessica received her "Valentine" presents yesterday. I bought her a balloon and a chocolate bar that said" "I Love You" on it. Dr. Cantu came in at @ 12:30 and gave Jessica two presents as well! First, he gave her a big kiss on her cheek to wish her a happy day (She's such a lucky girl...) and also he gave her another booster while raising the bed a little more to help her body with trying to sit up a little more. I gave Dr. Cantu his present as well - 50 KISSES - Not "real" kisses, but the Hershey's chocolate kisses - half plain/half with almonds. Dr. Cantu loves them. Every time he comes into Jessica's room he manages to eat at least 5 of them!(But whose counting?) By the way, did you know that each kiss contains only 25 calories - so Enjoy them! Also, I handed out kisses to all the nurses who came into Jessica's room yesterday. As soon as word got out that I was handing out "kisses", we saw nurses that we had never seen before!!!(Haha)

Special Thanks:
Special thanks to Dr. Rainbow and her grandson Eugenio who accompanied me to the local H.E.B. (food store) on Saturday. I hired Angeles, one of the "english-speaking" nurses to stay with Jessica, so I could do a "normal" thing and go food shopping! Yes, food shopping! It was very therapeutic for me. I was also able to sample the local mexican cuisine, as they had free samples in each aisle (just like Costco!).

Special thanks to Barbara who came by with delicious sandwiches and a piece of chocolate cake. It's so good to have homemade food. We enjoy her visits very much.

Also, special thanks to Sylvia who came by on Valentine's Day with a heart-shaped cake and other goodies. I shared it with the other family that is here from the states, as well as the nurses. Sylvia is a very special person and we enjoy her company as well - so Thanks again for Always being there Sylvia!

Update:
Elana is still here on the 8th floor. She is from Florida and she came out of the coma last Saturday. She and her husband Lance are very nice people and they will probably be here until Dr.Cantu feels she is ready to go home.
Also, another patient, Rachel, from N.Y., was put into the coma yesterday. Please pray for her and her family while she is in the coma.
I have also heard from Fern who returned to Canada after her boosters. She was here last week for 4 days with her friend Kathy. Fern was able to go to the movies with her husband - praise God - small steps - towards the road to recovery. I also heard from Justin and his family, back in Pennsylvania, and from Devon and her family, from Connecticut, she was Jessica's coma buddy, and from Emily, from California, as well. Please pray for these special people as they continue their daily struggles with RSD.


All of the people and families we have met while here in Monterrey, whether they are "coma" patients & families, or just All of the doctors and nurses and wonderful people from Monterrey that we have met while here --- have become very special to us. They help us in so many ways - we are thankful to God for All of the people he has put into our path since we arrived here. God is truly an awesome God who works in mysterious ways for the Good of His people that He Loves!

Romans 1:8:
"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for All of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world".
Hebrews 13:2
"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it".

In God's love, always,
Sarah Gina (Jessica's Mom)*

INTERESTING POST-SCRIPT:
At 4:00 PM today - Pastor Long from the Union Church visited us once again. I walked out of Jessica's room to greet him and in his hands he had a ziploc bag full of Hershey kisses for Jessica! I asked him if he had read the blog yet today. He said he hadn't! God does work in mysterious ways - and he really does have a sense of humor!!!!
