We hope she continues to do better and better. Our 4-month-old little girl was recently diagnosed, by Dr. Chacon (who we love), with a seizure disorder. Because Dr. Chacon is no longer with Cooks, we're wondering if you happen to know where she's moved on to? Any info would be greatly appreciated.<BR/>Again, it is so great that Jessie has been blessed with so much love from above.<BR/>Amy & John Duty (johnduty@tx.rr.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611503146555698525.post-89052022899073570502008-06-23T13:22:00.000-05:002008-06-23T13:22:00.000-05:00Wow, I have to catch up, I haven't read in about a...Wow, I have to catch up, I haven't read in about a week!

I am a 30 yr old married, mom of two daughters in Fort Worth.....and I just wanted Jessie to know that I think she is so brave and she has put a lot in perspective for me. After a long day, I check in on Jessie's blog to see the progress and I am over joyed and humbled. I can't wait to see what wonderful news I will hear next. <BR/>In my prayers,<BR/>CandiceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611503146555698525.post-70626023019566964702008-06-19T17:44:00.000-05:002008-06-19T17:44:00.000-05:00Hello Chris & Kristi,My name is Natalie White of B...Hello Chris & Kristi,<BR/><BR/>My name is Natalie White of Baltimore, Maryland and I have been following this story and cannot stop crying....First of all, I thank you for not forgetting who get's all the credit and he is our HEAVENLY FATHER....and HE is AWESOME. Jessie's new pictures show's me that she is still the same little girl before the surgery...she is awesome and that's what's needed!!! GO JESSIE..... Second, BEN CARSON IS GIFTED...and, I just cannot stop crying when I hear his name as well. After reading your letter, hesitation of choosing JHU and your notation of advising us how crucial of a decision it was at that moment, I GIVE GOD THE CREDIT AGAIN, and then not knowing that BEN would actually perform the surgery...WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE....I am sure you know what I mean....WOW!!!! Thirdly, my 2 year old was sick w/a fever and conjestion and I called the doctor and said I cannot stay up another night, then I thought of both of you and Jessie and said to myself, what if you had to stay up every night for almost over a year???? It really put things in perspective and gave me something to be grateful about and GOD get's the praise again!!!! I don't even know you guys and I just LOVE YOU as you were my family. And, you are....GOD'S GRACE and PEACE and I am glad you are also keeping her out of the public eye unless it benefits the cause.

I love the new ‘do, and her incisions look great- I am sure that those will heal beautifully. Kristi and Cris, a final confirmation of RE on the path report…awesome!! I know that was such a relief, and so freeing for you both to hear. How incredible to know, without a doubt, that the difficult decision you had to make was the right one! Those chains are gone. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound. God is so good. Darling Jessie, sweet dreams tonight. We can’t wait to see you up singing and dancing! And I know it won’t be long!!!

I can't even remember how I came across this blog, but I have three almost 6 year olds, a 7 year old and an 8 year old. So, 5 kids all around your sweet Jessies age. Her story and adorable pics just touched my heart and I've been following along since just before her sugery. What an incredible and miraculous story. What a strong and courageous little girl and family. Thank you for sharing this story with us. I pray and will continue to pray for Jessie often! Her adorable little smile in that latest picture is just the perfect portrait of the hand of God at work! Just incredible! May God (Continue to!)
