What a wonderful event this will be for our Miss Jessie and all of you! How special to have so many people care and want to help. There are so many fun events planned. We wish we could be there to have fun with you!
Thank you to the wonderful ladies who have set all of this up and to Cracker Barrel for caring about our Jessie.
To be honest, this is all Michelle Bartee and her people at Cracker Barrel. The carnival is their idea and there's a huge team of people all pulling together making it happen over there. I've only been helping with publicity and a few other things. Michelle deserves all of the praise for her work. There's been a lot of secrecy going on with some other events in the works and I know that makes it confusing...but Jessie's Carnival is all Michelle Bartee. She's a hero!!! Caren Jennings
Mail: Jessie Hall c/o The Hemispherectomy Foundation
P.O.Box 1239
Aledo, TX 76008
Jessie is 8 years-old and in 2nd Grade. She has 3 brothers, Matt(12), Jake(10) and Josh(10). She loves people, and never met a stranger. She loves to laugh and sing and play. Jessie was diagnosed with Rasmussen's Encephalitis(RE), which is a rare brain disease that usually attacks healthy children about her age. The only known treatment for this cruel disease is a hemispherectomy (surgical removal of one-half of the brain)
This is an account of Jessie's confrontation with RE and her families attempts to navigate through a new world to bring her the best care possible. Surgery was on June 11, 2008.
This Blog is an attempt to help people undertand this disease and surgery, and to help others with kids going through it to find comfort and resource from someone who has been there before.
Read from bottom, up. It will be updated continuously through Jessie's Miraculous Recovery.
