Rod,

You have my thoughts and prayers for Jessica and your family coming from Walla Walla.

God be with you and Bless you all during this time.

Still praying here in CA. Yes, to ALL who do not know the power of prayer. it is very real, and very powerful. I do know one thing for sure Jessica is in good hands. I'm just praying very hard that our desires are His will.

Please deliver her Father and bring her home safely. Return her back in her regular routine quickly. Please also bless all family and friends concerned and give them your peace in this time of difficulty. May more draw near to you thru this hardship. In Jesus name, Amen!
 
Jessica continues to make small amounts of progress each day as they back the sudation off little by little as bringing her to quicly would be a hage shock to her system. She still shows signs of her her right arm being quite sluggish as compared to her left due to the brain swelling. It is not known yet if she will regain full use of it, but I am very hopeful. Her insezions are healing well so they will soon beginning to increase the blood thinners and add another drug to aid in reduction of the brain swelling. Next MRI scheduled for Thursday last I heard. I will likely post something after that. Thanks again for the thoughts and Prayers. Rod
 
Jessica's recovery continues to be slow but steady. Yesterday they took her off of the ventelator and she is tolerating breathing on her own again. The sedatives are still being backed off alittle at a time. The nerosergons decided to wait on doing a followup MRI as they do not think there will be much change in the brain swelling this early on. She continues to have perallisis of the right arm, but I am told that since her leg seems to be working although alittle weak, her arm should be ok when the swelling goes down. It is being recommended that she spends some time in a physical rehab center after she leaves the hospital. I will be checking into that next week although we are likely near a month on a decesion as to when to start.
Thanks Again for the continued prayers and support.

Promising news so far. A continued prayer for a speedy, healthy, and full recovery.
I was in Children Hospital of Philadelphia yesterday with my 16yr old daughter [for a non threatening and cure able condition] The Doctors at children hospitals are saints themselves. I'm sure she is getting the best treatment available along with prayer.

Great news. It looks like the prayers are being answered. Thanks for keeping us informed. It is appreciated.
 
As a health care professional I can feel your pain. Sounds like things are progressing well. Mine and my families prayers are with you. If u need any translation of terms please let me know. I would be glad to translate for you. Again you are in my prayers. There is nothing more stressful than a sick child. Gods speed!
 
Just an update this am. as I am going to have to go home to attend to some things there for afew days. Jessica is still making progress. It is good to see only 2 IV's and a feeding tube at this point. She will likely be moved out of ICU on Monday as it did not happen over the weekend as the doc's were hoping. Physical Theropy has been working with her afew times a day since Friday. She seems to be gaining strength back in her right leg, but not much inprovement with her arm. The MRI that was scheduled for last Thursday was moved to this coming Thursday as regaurdless of the results the treatment would still be the same, blood thinners and antibiotics. Jessica seems to do well when she is awake and shows signs of still being a typical teenager. She pickpocketted my wifes cell phone last night because she wanted to text. She sent afew texts to some freinds at home. I gave her this laptop to use, but she got frustrated trying to work it with only her left hand. But I was glad to see her try and encouraged her. I hope the desire to do things keeps up as she will need the desire to dig deep with the rehab. Your Prayers are working without a doubt and seem to be amazing the doc's with the speed of her recovery and the courage of all of us. Thanks Again Rod
 
That is great news Rod! We will continue to pray for her. I think it would be beneficial to pray for her patience with recovery as well guys, since she will be frustrated and God can help her there too. All of our love to you guys as the Light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter!
