Update on Jessica:

Jessica received her booster to help her with her pain. She continues to try to push herself each day to accomplish more "small steps". Yesterday she was able to lay on the couch for a few hours. She also tried kiwi and loved it. We borrowed a DVD of the Gilmore girls from a fellow coma patient, Kerri, who is here from Pennsylvania with her parents. Please pray for these two young ladies - Jessica and Kerri - as they try to take those "small steps" each day!


SPECIAL THANKS!!!

Special Thanks to Pastor Kevin and the Marco Lutheran Church for such a successful fundraiser luncheon for Jessica that was held yesterday!
Huge thanks go out to Dodie Meister, the Outreach Director at the church, as this fundraiser was her brainchild! I heard a delicious buffet was served with all the food donated by the church!

Also, special thanks to Valorie Morris of Jewels of Park Lane for bringing her wonderful "fashion jewelry" to the event! All proceeds from the sale of the jewelry will be donated directly to Jessica's Journey savings club! Thanks to the wonderful models: Joanne, Marjorie, Patty, Gail,Joan, Cea, Judy, Joyce and Donna. A fun time was had by all!

Over 70 ladies from the shores of Marco Island and Naples attended the fundraiser! Jessica's grandmother - Nanny Josie - brought 34 of her lady friends from the Marco Villas! WoW! Nanny also made a tray of her wonderful cookies for all the ladies to share. I understand another tray of delectables was made by Myrna and her husband Rinaldo! Thanks to all who brought goodies for everyone to enjoy!

Special thanks also to the leader of Team Jessica - Nancy - who is tireless in her efforts for fundraising events for Jessica. Nancy you are amazing! Also, thanks go out to my sister Carol and her friend Sue for all their help in setting up and for manning the entrance table!

Special thanks also to Bob Olson from the Marco Eagle for taking pictures for the local paper and to Elayna Fernandez for taking video flip pictures as well!

There are not enough words of thanks to adequately convey the way Jessica and our family feel for such an outpouring of love and support! May God bless each and every one of you for what you have done and continue to do for our sweet Jessica. Ultimately, God has a plan for her, and for all of us as well. We just have to be patient and wait for his timing and praise him for his grace each and every day!

All our love from Mexico,
Sarah Gina & Jessica* xoxoxo

    How wonderful that Jessica is able to eat a variety of foods now! The small steps are becoming HUGE advances! God is good and FAITHFUL!

    Keep going, Jessica! Every day is getting you closer to your goal!

  2. Hi Jessica,

    Although you don't know us, we have been following your journey ever since you first went to Florida to meet Dr. Kirkpatrick. We live in Pennsylvania and are traveling back to Mexico for my boosters. We hope to meet you and your Mom very soon. Their are people all over the world who are gathering their strength from learning about all you have endured and overcome. By taking all those baby steps, you have been able to sit on the couch and soon, those baby steps will take you out the door! Our thoughts and prayers remain close by your side.

    You are such an inspiration to us of your faith and hope and trust. Thanks!

    We had a superb time at the fundraiser. So many beautiful JEWELS, not only the ones Valorie brought to play with, but the wonderful ladies that came to help. Your Grandma and Aunt are such sweeties!

    Get well little cutie!
