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.

Some Cute Pictures




I realized that I shouldn't use this blog just for medical updates since some of you reading don't get to see Jesse and see how much he is changing. He is starting to sit up on his own for a few seconds - enough for me to snap a picture before he falls over. He pushes up on his hands, and likes the position of the 3rd picture - I'm not sure what to call it - with his arms and legs up in the air. He rolls all over and "crawls" on his belly to get where he wants go. He has started using the high chair to eat in rather than the swing, and loves to eat. He eats little puff cereal and had some toddler cookies whiche he loved (he likes sweet things!!!)
