Jess is Home
Jess got to go home about 1:00 today. Even though she has not been able to walk, she had previously been able to transfer by herself. Now that her lower half is paralyzed she needs help. However, she is determined and her upper body is strong, so I think that she will quickly be able to do more on her own. She already surprised at least one nurse. Last night she wanted to see if she could sit up, so she did then she scooted herself back until she was able to lay down. Her nurse said that she had never seen anyone with as little lower body function as she has be able to do that so quickly; she added that people with much more mobility than her couldn't do what she just did. The plan is to continue brain radiation tomorrow and to continue praying. She can already move her toes more today than yesterday.

Praise God! I am so glad that you are at home with your family. I pray an abundance of blessings on you and your family this week as you continue your radiation. I pray that the feeling will return to your legs and that your pain will be minimal. I also pray that you will enjoy each and every moment with your friends and family. Have a great week.
Love,
Beth

Yeah Jessica! I totally agree with Lynne, you showed the nurses what we all know about you - that you are truly amazing. Since you were a baby you have been determined - we are all behind you jess, especially in the most challenging times. Wishing much love support and encouragement!!
All our love,

Someone at church today ws noting how different our actual weather this weekend has been from the forecast. He compared that to our life in Christ. The world (be it doctors, friends, family, etc.) may predict/ forecast one thing ... but our GOD is in charge of what actually happens!
He reminded us how the disciples must have felt as Christ hung dead on the cross, clingining to what was expected rather than grasping His promise to rise in 3 days...
How similiarly we may feel in our darkest hour - let's remember how God completely reversed the "forecast" as He ressurected Christ from the dead!!!
Let's not grow weary in the fight!

Today in BSF, our leader reminded us that fear and faith can't occupy the same space, that God has already gone ahead and prepared tomorrow, and that our God is the God of the impossible. I think Jesus was talking to us tonight. I am thanking Jesus for His promises and that Jess is home!!!

We continue to think of you and pray for you all. Glad you're home. By the way, I pull up your blog often to just listen to your play list. You have great taste.
