OK, this is nuts! Our crazy kids decided that they were going swimming today and you know what? They did!!! This may be the earliest in the year swim yet...almost the Polar Bear Club.
A year ago, Jessie could barely swim, because she was having so many seizures that we thought that she would drown. Now she's swimming fridgid waters...that CRAZY Girl.
Here's a few pictures of the kids. Cris

OK, you 4 little fishies! You couldn't get Gram and Papa in that pool this early!
Jessie's hair looks super cute like that! I wish we could start swimming here in WV this early. I wouldn't even think about it unless I wanted to transform into a human popsicle. Keep up the awesome swimming Jessie! You've come so far so just keep going and never look back again!
Burrr...that looks so cold! :) Go Jessie. By the way Jessie, Happy Birthday. I was going to write something sooner and then I totally forgot, so now I am a few days late, so sorry! I hope you had a fantastic 7th birthday! You are one amazing little girl! Can't wait to meet you all in July! With love, Brande Juber Mom to Tyson Juber

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.
