Doctor Appointment on Friday

Jessica went back to the doctors on Friday.  After her doctor's appointment the Mission President's wife and Sister Gorringe took Jessica to get a taco and a blizzard at DQ.

Here is the email I received from Brother Gorringe:

Non technical update. Sister Dahle and Sister Gorringe were with her for her appointment with Doctor DeLeon. President and I joined them for lunch. She had soft tacos and loved them. After that she had a DQ Blizzard. We took her home and she assisted Sister Gorringe in the office the balance of the day. 

Observation: Early on, she was tired, but improved as the day wore on. Amazing what a little ice cream will do. When she left the office for the mission home in the early evening, she looked, sounded and acted completely normal. I assume Sister Dahle has told you of the doctor's report and what the next step is.

I have included two pictures that I will post on Facebook for the missionaries families. They were taken yesterday at Mission Leaders Conference. As you can see, she looks fine. She is with Sister Quinlan Hess. I hope this gives you a little comfort.

We love her too,

Elder Gary Gorringe

Jessica moved out of ICU to a Regular Room

Hi,

Today we got great news that Jessica was being moved from her ICU room to a regular room in the hospital.

This was posted on Facebook

She is in good spirits, and very happy to be out of the ICU.  She has to have someone with her at all times to monitor her condition (human ICU).  She has undergone several test and we hope to have the results soon.

It's been such a special treat to hear her voice Sunday and Monday, I just wish it were under better circumstances.

Jessica says she feels weak.  She has low blood pressure and a low heart rate with an irregular rhythm.  That doesn't sound good but we are optimistic that everything will be fine, just like last time.

There are over 100 people and families that have included Jessica in their prayers!  We have put her name on the temple prayer roll.  She is in God's hands!  We pray for her safe and healthy recovery!
