Hello to Our Family, Friends, and Bloggers,
I can't believe that this post is my 200th Post! --- and it couldn't come at a better time. My 200th Post during Hurricane Alex!!!
We are in the apartment only 10 days and we have been battling a hurricane or "huella" as they say in Mexico.
It has been 20 years since the likes of a storm such that we are now experiencing as even touched Monterrey, this beautiful city, that before now was always protected by the Sierra Madre Mountains on one side and the Sierra de la Silla Mountains on the other.
There is a famous river - Santa Catarina - which only two days ago was completely dry, and has been dry for 20 years!!! The last storm to hit this area was 20 years ago - Hurricane Gilberto. This river is now overflowing!
As I sit here posting this blog I have been busy all day placing towels and pots by the windows as water is coming in from every angle. Even though we are in a new apartment building, these structures are not made to withstand these type of storms, nor this amount of rain - over 15 inches I think! It has been a hectic day to say the least!
Dr. Cantu just left our apartment. He came to visit Jessica and adjust some of her medications. He is like the "mailman" - neither sleet, nor snow, or even a hurricane can keep him from his appointed duties!
Jessica is still trying to adjust to the new surroundings and the new hospital bed. Just a few days ago we received a better type hospital bed for her. It is on loan from a fellow RSD sufferer named Olga. We met her before we left the hospital and we quickly became friends - there is definitely a very special connection! She and her husband and friend Blanca delivered the bed before the storm and we are so grateful to them for all of their help, love and support.
Please pray for the city of Monterrey - to be able to bounce back quickly after this tremendous storm.
Please pray for the wonderful people of Monterrey - many of whom we now call our "family".
Please pray for Dr. Cantu - that all his travels to and fro are safe.
Please pray for Jessica - for her to find that inner strength and determination that has so become a part of her daily struggle.
Please pray also for Elana, Fern, and Blair - fellow RSD coma patients who are currently in Mexico for their boosters.
Please pray also for a safe journey for Jessica's Dad and sister Michelle. They are due to arrive here late Sunday - July 4th - weather permitting!!!
In God's love, always,
Sarah Gina & Jessica*

So good to hear from you ladies! May our wonderful Lord protect the people and city of Monterrey! Can't wait to hear of David and Michelle's safe arrival. It won't be long until we are all celebrating our FREEDOM together again in the great USA! I'm betting Carol and Ray will light the barbee for us all.
ReplyDeleteStay strong sweet Jessica and one more memory for your Journal that will help change the world of progress on RSD.
