Hello to All,
This past week has been very difficult for Jessica. Initially it looked like the fevers were responding to the antibiotics, but the past few days the fevers have been increasing and last night it went up to 39 C or roughly 102.5 F.
Due to this Dr. Cantu and Dr. Dillman both agreed that it would be necessary to remove Jessica's medi-port and instead put in a central catheter. She was brought down to surgery this afternoon.
We are currently awaiting cultures to determine if this is the same infection she has been trying to fight or a new one.
She is a fighter and quite honestly I don't know how she manages to keep on fighting sometimes.....but we have to believe that God has a better plan for Jessica and also a better life ahead for her as well.
We thank you for all your love and support and continued prayers for Jessica.
Please pray that the RSD symptoms she is feeling will lessen. Pray for Dr. Cantu and all the doctors here at the Hospital San Jose Tec.
In God's Love, always,
Sarah Gina (Jessica's Mom)*

ReplyDelete9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
sarah, thank you for continuing to update all of us. i'm sure it isn't easy to find the time or even the right words when things become challenging. you are an exceptional mother.
ReplyDeletejessica, you can fight this infection. when i hear about your latest challenge, i can't help but think of how far you have come. this is just another hiccup on the road to recovery.
have you ever seen the movie finding nemo? i like to use the saying dore said over and over again when faced with opposition. she said, just keep swimming, just keep swimming. right now you may be treading water, but before you know it you'll be floating on a raft, enjoying a cocktail with an umbrealla. until you reach that point, just keep swimming, jessica.
you are in our prayers.
God bless you,
emily-your coma buddy
Hey, Gina and Jessica, keep hope in your hearts and I know Gods light will shine through. Prayers, prayers, prayers. We'll keep them coming!!!! hugs and kisses, Bonnie

I know that God has big plans for your family and for Jessica. This is not an easy road for any of us but seems to be throwing curve balls at you over and over.
ReplyDeleteI thank God over and over for having gotten to know you and for the friendship we share.
It is in adversity that we often find our greatest gifts and strengths. God is going to use this for His glory, we just need to hold on for the ride and trust always in His love and mercy and wisdom.
My prayers continue even though I have been too sick to say much. i miss you and look forward to talking with you all when you can. Please give Jess a gentle kiss from me and tell her I hold her in prayer daily.
Be strong Sarah! I hold you up too! May God give you a hint one of these days and until then may we all be able to trust in His ways no matter where they seem to take us.
Do you remember the Psalm.. The Lord is my Shepherd....? I like the part where he takes us through the valley of the shadow of death and yet I will fear no evil. I am hanging on to that today for you and me.
All our love,
the Kwantes family
Sarah and Jessica,

Dearest Jessica and Gina, The strength, perseverance and determination that you have built up over the past few years is critical these days to help you hang in there. I love Emily's reference to Finding Nemo and just keep swimming. By having made it through so many difficult times, you can have confidence that you can do it again, and again, as many times as you need to on your journey to wellness. I am keeping you in my prayers daily and am with you in spirit. Love always, Angel xoxoxoxoxoxo
