Sea Nettle



We just wanted to put up a quick note to ask you for your prayers! Our six year old daughter Jessica was stung by jelly fish( from all accounts these particular ones are called Sea Nettles) yesterday while on an outing that we had on the beach. She is doing much better now, Thank God! We had to take her to the Red Cross where they gave her a shot to counteract the poison. It was rather traumatic! Some of the other kids and adults got it as well but, gratefully, not as bad!
We have been here for five years now and this is the first time ever that something like this has happened. There are supposed to be some of the most dangerous spiders and snakes in Mexico, here in the state of Veracruz, but thankfully, with Gods protection, we haven't encountered any of them so far.
We were told that on account of the hurricane, creatures that are not normal habitants of these waters will find themselves here through the strong currants caused by the force of these storms. It was a little silly of us not to have thought about that but, well...we didn't. Thankfully it wasn't any worse.
Here are pic's. of the poor dear.

Thank you everybody for all your love, concern and prayers! We are so thankful to have wonderful friends like you all around the world.
PS: Update on Jessica: After about a week of calm recuparation (as we thought)the wounds (which by now are quite deep and bleeding at times) got swollen and very itchy. Natural reaction - we were told.
Please keep praying for her, as it gave here few very uncomfortable nights. She has a very hard time of not scratching it.
Also please pray specifically that it doesn't scar, as it is all over her hands and legs.
Thank you so much once again. We love you.
