Hi, I read about your story on AOL. Kids bounce back so well. Jessie is like my son, a fighter all the way. Nicholas had a spinal fusion 4.3.08 and aspirated after surgery. He almost died from multiple complications including ARDS, pneumonia and sepsis. It was quite scary but he is doing great now! Glad Jessie is improving. We'll say prayers for her.

Hi,
My name is Lena. I came across your story on AOL as I was checking my email. Myself, husband (Glenn), and son(Lyle) met Jessie's dad in the kitchen at The Children's House in Baltimore, MD. We were eating crabs in the kitchen when we all crossed paths. He asked if we had a child in Johns Hopkins and Lyle said "Me" Lyle just had his 8th surgery on June 24th for spinal cord untethering for spina bifida. We asked if he ever heard of Dr. Ben Carson and he said, "As a matter of fact I have, he just removed half of my daughter Jessie"s brain." We said, "So your the famous family on the news across the country" He smiled. This was around the time Jessie was learning to walk again. Lyle told Jessie's dad "I'll help teach her." It was sweet. We are all so blessed to have Dr. Carson in our lives!! We all love him!! Jessie looks great and we love the pictures. She is amazing. We will continue to pray for her. Keep in touch.
Health and Happiness,
Glenn, Lena and Lyle Youngblood

Hi

Like the other posts before me, I also saw Jesse's story on AOL. What can I say? She is inspiring and beautiful. Her story brought tears to my eyes. To paraphrase a late great entertainer - Danny Thomas - who helped found St. Jude's Childrens Hospital here in Memphis - NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO SUFFER!

My prayers are with you as Jesse continues to improve. I pray for God to continue to bless you and your family. I can't imagine what you have been through. Thank you so much for sharing your story and helping other's out there that also suffer from RE.

JESSE - You are loved, you are beautiful! Thank you for being an encouragement to me.
