We hope you all had a blessed Easter celebration. I gave Jessica a little chocolate Easter bunny for Easter and a big hug and kiss to let her know how very proud I am of her and of all she continues to try to accomplish while here in Monterrey. I couldn't be more blessed to be called her "MoM"! She currently is fighting an infection and is on levaquin IV, and today Dr. Cantu is going to perform a procedure to try and block the nerve in the right leg that may be contributing to the pain that she is experiencing in that leg. As you know, that is the leg that had the initial tick bite and subsequent re-triggering of the RSD in her leg and then entire body. Jessica is still managing to take her "small steps" in her recovery. Please pray for her today and for God to continue to bless her with the "inner strength" that only comes from Him alone!
Yesterday we said goodbye to John Roach and his wife Rosemary and family members Diane and Jennifer. John was here this past week for boosters and we had an instant connection with their family. Many similarities, from John being a volunteer fireman before his illness to Rosemary being Sicilian like me, and I could go on and on, but I will say they became like family! I presented John with his "handmade original ketamine coma firebear" (this is the 16th one I have made and presented since here). Each bear seems to get better and better and I have found that they are my "therapy" and I really enjoy giving them to the coma patients and doctors as well! Godspeed John and Rosemary and stay well - we miss you!
Another former coma patient is here as well, Elena Cohen, and her husband Isaac and family members Jessica and Sylvia. I had met them 3 months ago as Elana returns every 3 months for her boosters as well. She is a very special person and has been through alot, but she still has that "fighter spirit" in her. She wants to meet Jessica before she leaves, as she has been following her journey as well. Yesterday Isaac went to the local store for me to pick up a few things for Jessica. Everyone here becomes very united. We have truly met a lot of special families that struggle each day toward a better life, with less pain, as well!
Also, Fern Kwantes returns tomorrow from Canada for her series of boosters as well. She has become a very special friend and she will be returning with her friend Cindy. Please pray for a safe and uneventful journey for her as well!
Everyone that does return here to the Hospital San Jose Tec for their ketamine boosters is very touched and amazed at what Jessica has been through and endured. They are so happy to see the progress she has made, even after all the struggles and setbacks she has faced. I believe with all my heart that God's glory will ultimately be revealed for Jessica and I hope that he will continue to bless her and all of the coma patients as well! Someone once said this quote: " Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize that they were the BIG things!!!
God bless you all today and we pray that today finds you all well! Thank you for continuing to take this journey - Jessica's journey - with us everyday --- it means a lot to us -- more than you can know!!!
In God's Love, always,
Sarah Gina (Jessica's Mom)*

What a joy to hear that you can HUG and KISS your sweet Jessica! What a HUGE step forward!
ReplyDeleteEverday, I am astounded at Jessica's perseverance and your faith. God truly does provide!
When I read your blog I am reminded that we have so much to be thankful for - even the smallest of things like eating, hugs, sitting up, our very being.
May God bless your faith and heal your sweet Jessica. May every day bring forth more small steps and less pain.
We will continue to pray for you, all the RSD patients, the caregivers and the doctors working so hard to help.
Hang in there, Jessica! You are doing really well! Look how far you have come!
With love & prayers,
The Turners
Dear Jessica & Sarah Gina,
ReplyDeleteWe already miss our new friends!
It was such a blessing to have met you both during John's recent booster stay at the hospital. You made such a positive difference in all our lives. With all you are going through, you somehow found the time to reach out and welcome us, bring us gifts, write notes, make a bear and share many wonderful and inspirational stories. Sarah, you even loaned me Jessica's floor fan! You managed to change all our lives in a weeks time.
We want you to know that we join the hundreds, if not thousands of other faithful followers of your amazing journey. Jessica, you are a beautiful young lady & RSD/CRPS will never be able to take that away from you. Even from your hospital bed and in pain and even after all your suffering, you can still smile. That was so heartwarming to witness. And Sarah, what else can we say about meeting you except that you are an amazing Mother and an example of what a Mother's love is all about.
Our wish and prayer for you and your family is for Jessica to become well enough to go home and begin the next phase of her journey. The journey that will take her to a life without constant pain and suffering and will open doors to the beautiful life she so deserves.
May God soon bless you and your family with prayers answered and dreams realized.
Our love,
Rosemary and John
Matthew 15:28
ReplyDelete28Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Sarah and Jessica,
ReplyDeleteBy now I know that you have greeted Fern and Cindy, and I heard from a quick call from Cindy that she has appreciated you SO very much already. You are truly a gift to so many people, and even though this doesn't all make sense, I know that you are being used by God to shine His light to others. Both of you are living lights of God there in the hospital. Eternal benefits and eternal blessings will come from your steps of faith and obedience to God.
May today bring Jessica relief from her leg pain so that her whole body can continue on this process of healing and steps to health.
May you feel God's uplifting again today, and be filled with His strength and patience for this day.
Kathy
