What exactly is Cinco de Mayo?
Literally translated from the Spanish as the fifth of May, the day marks the victory at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, over the French, who were trying to take over the country. The smaller, less-equipped Mexican army scored a surprise win as French troops invaded during the Mexican-French War. Ultimately, the Mexicans lost that war, and the French ruled, for a time. The big holiday in Mexico is actually Mexican Independence Day, commemorated on September 16. Yes, we agree, Cinco de Mayo is catchier and a lot easier to remember—even though it's not as important.
Update on Jessica:
Yesterday we said goodbye to Blair and his friend George. I presented him with his "coma bear". This is the 18th bear I have made since here. I think he was very touched by it. He named it "FED"- which was actually his nickname before he got ill with RSD. (FED stood for Fun-Every-Day) The hope for all patients that suffer with RSD is to one day be able to have "fun" again!
Jessica is trying every day to continue to accomplish the small steps she needs to take. We are going to try to see if we can get her to sit up better by using a medication for the orthostatic hypertension. She is currently able to watch TV - albeit for short spans of time, at low volume, and only if it is in English (which limits the programs available to watch) and no commercials that flash in and out. She has been running a low-grade fever and so Dr. "Febricula" (aka Dr. Dillman) is running cultures to make sure all is OK and too rule out infections.
Also, last night Jessica's Dad and sister Michelle went to see Jessica's doctor, Dr. Liegner, give an informative discussion on Lyme disease treatment and prevention in Great Neck, N.Y. It was good for them to see him again and to tell him about how Jessica is doing. He is a very special man to us and we are here today because of all he has done for Jessica.
Because May is designated as Lyme Disease Awareness month, and it is something that Jessica is very passionate about, please watch the following video:

Jessica, You are such an inspiration to all of us - what courage and persistence and stamina and, most importantly, faith you have in keeping up the good fight! I was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease in January 1996 after I had received a tick bite in August, 1995 and it was misdiagnosed. I had bizarre symptoms, some very difficult. After the diagnosis, God put me on proper antibiotics and had me increase the Shaklee whole food supplements I had already been taking. Within weeks, I was healed. I pray for you continually and want you to know that your Resurrection Family loves you and is "standing in the gap" for you. Don't give up. "With God, all things are possible." He is mighty and can do anything! We lift you up and send you lots of love and prayers.

I thought you guys would appreciate a real conversation I had the other day with my Mom:
ReplyDeleteME: "Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo"
MOM: "Oh, Cinco de Mayo, isn't that when someone rescued someone from something."
Thanks Mom. That was helpful...
Praying for you guys! Hope you are able to get this infection thing sorted out.
In His Great Love,

Hi Jessica and Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the video link on Lyme disease; we found it very informative. You are doing a great job in raising awareness about this disease. You remain selfless in your quest to help others avoid the same pain and suffering you have had to live with for so long. We admire you, for so many reasons.
We have a friend here at home who suffers with Lyme and we live in an area that is a real hot spot for this disease. Even so, it is very often misdiagnosed or is diagnosed later in the disease process after much damage is done.
Did we ever tell you that we live in an area where there is a large Hispanic population? Yes, and Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with huge parades, food, music and dancing! They estimated that 15,000 people turned out for this years parade. Of course, John and I couldn't go, but it is still nice to live near what we consider our small piece of Mexico! Like you and your Mom, we have come to love the Mexican people for their warmth and hospitality.
We miss you both and think of you every single day. Jessica, you are an amazing source of inspiration to us. We hope that the coming days find you feeling better and infection free. We're praying for you to stay strong and to have progress in your recovery.
Lots of love,
Rosemary & John
