“...Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” Mark 5:19
Today is my "re-birthday!" :)
On August 23rd, 3 years ago today, I awoke from my second ketamine coma. Just 8 days after I nearly died, I woke up, on my own....singing! I could speak! I could breathe on my own! All of my tubes were removed! My lesions had healed! I could move my legs for the first time in 4 years! My pain was 90% gone! It was a true miracle!! I felt incredible! I felt healed!
I celebrate today as my re-birthday, as this was the turning point for my recovery. Yes, it was a long, slow process to get to where I am now, but since that day, it has been all small steps in the right direction!

| August 23rd, 2010... Feeling much better! |
So, in honor of my re-birthday, I am happy to announce that next month I will be taking a very special trip!
I am going "home" to Garden City, New York!!!
I have said from the moment I returned from Mexico, that I will not feel like my homecoming is truly complete until I make it back up to Garden City, NY to hug and thank everyone in person; whose love, support and prayers made my recovery possible... And now, it is happening!
I will be back home in GC from September 10th-17th! I will be showing a video of my journey and sharing my miracle in my hometown church, Lutheran Church of the Resurrection on Saturday night & Sunday morning (Sept. 14&15)!
If you are in the area, please come and say hi!
Lutheran Church of the Resurrection
420 Stewart Avenue
Garden City, NY 11530
I will be speaking after the Saturday Worship service which begins at 5:30pm, and during and after the Sunday services (8:30&11:00am) as well!
This trip means so much to me, on so many levels, and I am beyond excited to see everyone and share the miracle God has done in my life, through the help of so many who were literally the hands and feet of Jesus to my family and I, especially Pastor Browning and the church, the GCFD and my GC friends!
Can't wait to see everyone! I am soooo excited!!!
God bless!

Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteFaith is believing what you cannot see. Even though your Pastor and friends in Garden City had Faith in your healing, nothing will prepare them for seeing you in the flesh! I know they will be overcome with emotions so I hope they stock up on Kleenex before you speak! Happy, Healthy Re- Birthday Jess!!!
With Much Love Always,
Rosemary
While I may physically live in Florida, my heart remains in Garden City.
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that Jessica will get to go back for a visit. There are so many wonderful friends we left behind.
I agree with Rosemary; It will be an amazing experience to see her.
Thank you dear Lord for the privilege to have raised my family in such a great town.

Jessica... Eres una mujer super fuerte y muy valiente... Pero lo mas maravilloso de todo es la Fe que tienes en Dios... Dios esta con tigo y te dara la Victoria... todos tus suenos se haran realidad. Que Dios te Bendiga.

Jessica – Thank you for sharing your story and journey during church today. We were so blessed to be in your presence and while we have never met you’ve changed our lives. Thank you and God bless – The Russo Family (Tim, Jana, Juliana and Emelia)
ReplyDeleteAs a sufferer of RSD, I know that it doesn't need to be a "way if life." I can have one. What a sad day when I know one who's family opposes it.
ReplyDeleteI think it forces difficult choices. No ones life needs to be limited like this.
Go, Jessica!
