Hello to All,
I am writing this blog tonight from the Hospital San Jose Tec once again.
Dr. Cantu & Dr. Dillman both felt that it was necessary to hospitalize Jessica due to infection and also because of her blood counts being low. Due to her immune system being compromised and the lesions returning to her right arm and also the increasing pain she was experiencing - it was not only necessary but unavoidable.
We arrived here via ambulance and are back in our old room - #845.
As you can imagine coming back to the hospital comes with many mixed emotions. On the one hand, it was necessary and in Jessica's best interest so that she could get all of the treatments necessary. On the other hand, it is so very emotional and for Jessica - a setback. She is such a strong person and as Dr.Cantu has said to her so many times during this journey - he is amazed at what she has endured and the obstacles she has overcome and still continues to overcome each and every day. God is truly with her and continues to bless her with a perseverance that quite frankly is inspiring. I am truly blessed to be her Mom!!!
She is currently on equalta, maxipime, and cubicin. These medications may change when the culture sensitivities are in. She will also be receiving her ketamine boosters in order to try to alleviate her pain and also to go after the reoccuring lesions. Blood counts will be drawn daily and appropriate treatment will be started as warranted. It is the doctors hope that we will only be in the hospital for @ 10 days.
Please keep all those prayers coming for Jessica. God is good and with His mighty help and unending love - as well as Dr.Cantu and his amazing devotion to Jessica - and to Dr. Dillman, her infectious disease doctor and his tireless efforts as well - and also Dr. Luigi and all of his help --- I know that Jessica will come out of this victorius! For me, as her Mom, I will stop at nothing to see this happen for Jessica and for her to one day have her life back again...........
May God keep you all healthy and in His loving grace,
Sarah Gina (Mom to 3)*

Dearest Jessica and Gina, You are in my prayers every day, as well as your whole family. Although it must have been difficult to go back into the hospital,it is a comfort to know that Dr. Cantu and the staff are there and are uniquely well equipped to care for Jess and to meet her needs. May God continue to surround you with His grace and healing light, and may this hospital stay be brief and gentle. Hang in there! Love always, Angel xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi Ladies! Just another step along the journey to wellness! Stay strong Sweet Jessica. How blessed Jessica is to have YOU for a Mom... Sarah Gina!

I'm so glad you were still near the hospital when this occurred and hope that it will be just a small setback like everyone's instincts are telling them. You could come out the other side with an even stronger core of healing --God can be surprising like that!
ReplyDeleteI have been in a thankful period lately for my medical team and this seems to be a theme also with you and your Mom. God has made me aware of how many suffer with this disease without knowledgeable caregivers or even family members who understand them or believe their pain is real.
It is amazing how Jessica already brings hope to people and I my desire is to do the same. May the knowledge of the spiritual lift that you give to others help you over this tough spot and seeming setback.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV

Oh dear.
ReplyDeletewe have had our own crosses to bear here in Saratoga. Roger's mom had been admitted to hospital and they said she needed 2 pints of blood. After a month they told us that again she needed another 2 pts. not a good sign. Then she came home and she was not good. and today after almost a week she is finally bouncing back. I hope that you have the same experience. But again I pray that we will find some caregivers, one moved to florida. So we, like you, pray that the Lord will answer all our prayers and send us good health and let us know how to do God's Will.
Sorry i haven't written but along with all these other trials the comuter decided to play "stupid".
Prayers
Linda in Saratoga.
