Brad here :)
Jess is doing great. She can't talk yet because she is on the ventilator but she was able to write today. It looks like she will come off the vent today and they are weening her off the sedation as well.
I couldn't be more proud of her. I know she will fight to get out of the hospital as soon as she can. She truly is inspiring and her drive to get healthy and enjoy life is refreshing.
We love you Jess and we hope you keep going in this direction.

how the heck did I miss all this?!?!?!?! OMG so freaking exciting!!!!! GOOOOO JESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI started following Jess's blog when she was mentioned by Sandra Rinomato. She has been such an inspiration to me. Her fantastic sense of humor helped me with dealing with my disability. I am so happy for her to have received her new lungs and wish her a speedy recovery. I hope she continues her blog because there are a lot of strangers like me who enjoy her writing. Thank you, Jess, for being you! Lots of prayers for you and your donor.
ReplyDeleteI am very happy for you Jessica, A friend turned me onto your blog and I have been following it for awhile now. You are an inspiration for us all. Your courage and sense of humor is fantastic. Come out swinging and really enjoy your life. you rock :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a Christmas miracle. I am so thankful for the surgery, the donour family, the care she is getting. she looked so exhausted the day she got the call but she soldiered on to the Raptor game. Next thing we hear she is in the hospital awaiting new lungs. I know she is a survivor and will talk her way out of the hopsital just because it is Christmas. She is very good at that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family you have there supporting you. Pamela you are the angel from heaven doing all for everyone. Thank you for that. Waiting patiently to see you Jessica when you get out of ICU.
