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 Appointments

On Friday, Jesse's 1st appointment was to have his pictures taken at Penney's. It went great and the photographer took so many good pictures I couldn't decide what to order. I had selected 19 poses that I liked. Now you they offer the option to buy a CD with all the pictures - so that is what I did. That way I can get as many printed as I want, and make a slide show, etc...

At noon we went to the pulmonologist. It wasn't much of an appointment. They thought he was doing great right now and agreed that the inhaled steroid (Flovent) should be continued at least until next spring. Dr. Kerby will perform the bronchoscopy on Tuesday after the heart cath so that she can look at his lungs. Then she will decide if he needs any further testing or treatment.

So, we have to be at the hospital at 6:00am on Tuesday, and will hopefully be out that evening (but are supposed to pack an overnight bag in case he has to spend the night.)
