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.

New Teeth

Sorry for not updating for so long. We had a busy week last week. Aunt Kim was here with her 4 children, so the 8 cousins had a fun week on the farm and at Grandma and Grandpa's in Sterling. We did a lot of art projects throughout the week, culminating with an "art show" on Friday so everyone could see their creations. Tuesday we visited the Overland Trail Museum and then had a delicious "Dinner of Thanks" with Grandma and Grandpa, complete with turkey and all the fixings.
Jesse can now get into the sitting position easily, and can pull up to standing with a little assistance. We have worked a couple times on stairs, but it is a lot of work. The big news is that he now has 2 teeth on top, for a total of 4. He is making the transition from formula to cow's milk. He is starting to drink a little from a sippy cup. He likes riding in the backpack, and we had a fun time going to the Butte with all the kids on Friday afternoon. Jesse really likes cats, especially our new little kitten Calli, and he is quite gentle with her.
While Kim was here, she came down with a cold and almost lost her voice. Sam came down with a fever, but seems better today. Jesse has a runny nose and cough. And I have slightly sore throat. I hope we don't all catch it.
After our break, we will be getting back to school tomorrow.
