Our Blessing Named Jesse

Jesse Quintin was born September 26, 2007, the much-loved fifth son of Kristan and Chad. He was diagnosed shortly after birth with AV Canal Heart Defect and Down Syndrome. Thursday, January 10th, Jesse had surgery to repair his heart defect. Friday morning he suddenly went into cardiac arrest. After 45 min. of CPR he was attached to life support. By God's healing hand his heart started to beat again and he came off life support on January 13. We created this blog to keep everyone updated.

Friday, January 18 - Breathing Tube Is Out!!!

They are preparing to take Jesse off the respirator - 1 week after his cardiac arrest. Pray that all goes well.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (John 14:27)

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)


5:15pm - The breathing tube is out!!! Jesse is getting oxygen and nitric oxide through a nasal cannula, but breathing on his own once again. Praise God that all went smoothly.

Love,
Kristan

    So wonderful to hear that Jesse is breathing on his own. I remember all too well the day the doctors were able to remove Nick's breathing tube; he looked like my little boy again and I could finally find a spot on his cheek to kiss! What a joyful day for all of you. Hope the boys enjoyed the Stock Show and that mom is getting a bit of rest.
    Thinking and praying for all of you.

They get to rejoice with you all together!! Praise the Lord! Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
