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.

A Couple Pictures of Jesse




Jesse is continuing to grow well and is over 15 pounds now. He has been somewhat sick for about a week now - vomiting ocassionally, runny nose and coughing (usually when eating, or when he wakes up.) But he has not had any fever. He seemed to be a little better today, but I guess if he is still coughing on Monday I will take him into the doctor. The rest of us have all gone through various symptoms. Sam has had it the longest, and it looks like Chad just started today with an upset stomach, chills and headache. Please pray that we can all get over these colds.


Love,

Kristan

    Jesse,

    You are sooo cute! I just want to smother you with hugs and kisses. You are even getting little chubby baby cheeks and a baby belly. We are so happy that you are doing so good. We love you SO much and can't wait to see you in a few more weeks. Hip, Hip, Hooray!

    Love, Aunt Kim, Uncle Bill, Emily, Nick, Noelle and Daniel

    Kristan,

    I've just got to tell you how much Jesse reminds me of Daniel. It's funny. They have similar facial expressions and squeezable cheeks. Daniel's getting blond hair - not white blond, but light - how funny.

    Love,
    Kim

    What a cute guy Jesse is! We're so happy to see him doing well. We continue to pray for Jesse and your entire family. May God bless you all. We can relate to the illness thing. We've all been fighting a stomach bug.

    Blessings,
    Steve, Mary, Ethan, Emily and AnnaSophia
