Dorothy had it right when she said, "There's no place like home!"<br />Congrats to Nancy for getting the bandages! I hear you've got an ICU bed now. I hope that prevents the ulcers along with the bandages.<br />Are you still wiggling those toes? I'm sure it will be good to see Dr. Cantu again after his little vacation. And let's be completely honest, Jess, he's not all that hard to look at?! I remember him smelling good, too. I've always had hyper-sensitive olfactory senses, though.<br />Jessica, I know that the will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you. I pray for sleep for you and your mother, strength to continue to fight the RSD and peace in knowing that someday soon your nightmare of a story will be a success and you will stand and walk as a testament to His amazing works.<br />Love and blessings,<br />Emily WilfordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107658204718797774.post-49627842769640219532009-09-09T13:30:26.182-04:002009-09-09T13:30:26.182-04:00Sleep....rest....and healing....

In darkness and quiet with only someone (taped)who suggest cleansing breaths can help the body relax and destress and fall asleep.<br />Maybe the way we used to put the babies to sleep.

Gosh, I remember how ...Hi Mrs Stevens and Jessica,<br /><br />Gosh, I remember how hard it was to be so sleep deprieved. I don't think people fully understand how valuable and important sleep really is. I remember people telling me that sleep would be difficult after the coma, but since I was only sleeping an hour to three a night (on a good night) I couldn't quite imagine it being more difficult. Well, somehow, (and I still don't completely understand how) it was. I remember the one night all I wanted in all the world was to sleep. I will be praying Jessica can sleep. Yes, we had those nights and you are right, if I didn't sleep, neither did my Mom. I so appreciated her love and commitment to me and she helped me through those times as I know you are doing for Jessica. God Bless you. I am sure as a Mom you want to be able to do more, to make things better, but your help is more valuable than you probably know. I continue to understand that more and more on a daily basis how MUCH Mom did for me during those times. Actually, Mom and I had that conversation today. <br /><br />We love you both and are praying for SLEEP! One thing a doctor that I had said that did eventually help me, but it certainly was not a quick fix, was at around the time I want to fall asleep (somewhat of a "normal" bedtime (For me that was anywhere from 12 to 2 at the time) she said turn out the lights, turn off the TV and I turned on my Christian music. Close your eyes and kind of picture your mind blank, picturing white. In the beginning this did nothing and after a half and hour to an hour I would turn the TV back on if I couldn't sleep, but the problem is right now, I don't think Jessica's brain knows HOW to sleep. Mine didn't. What your trying to tell it, is "This is bedtime, this is the time we go to sleep, everything stops and rests." It takes a quite a bit of time for your brain to "learn " how to do this, but it definitely helped. Sometimes too, if you can do this in conjunction with the sleeping meds, get the meds and then impliment this, the meds help the process. It definitely did not work at first, but I continued with it and now I can sleep as many hours as I want. You'll get there Jess, hang in there. I KNOW this is brutal right now, but you'll do it. I know you will.<br /><br />Love in Christ,<br /><br />Lindsay SpenglerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107658204718797774.post-12237050430767450152009-09-08T12:38:16.077-04:002009-09-08T12:38:16.077-04:00HI Gina.
