Mail: Jessie Hall

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.

Denise reported that the surgery started at 9:32 am your time, and now they're closing up - to be done by 4:00pm - that means 6 1/2 hours right?! Half the time that we were expecting it to be! That is from Prayer! This is miracle #1. What's next?

I just read about you on WJZ, what a heart felt story! I have a 7 and 5 year old, both boys, and I cant imagine what you are going through. Johns Hopskins is one the best hospitals in the world for any medical issue.

We all bowed our heads and said a prayer for her this morning as we began our activity in G1151. We are thinking of you, your boys, and especially Jessie. Angels always fly the closest to children.
We, in Baltimore, love Jessie and wish her the best. GOD BLESS!
This Aledo family has been praying for Jessie. I am a moderator at an Internet message board, and many of the members of that board have been praying for Jessie and the Hall family all day.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and Jessie today. My wife and I have sat in the GOR waiting area about 46 times waiting for Dr. Carson to come from the OR with the news.
You have the best helping your daughter today as Dr. Carson believes that he is doing the work of the Lord through him.

What awesome news...and just reading the comments, God is so amazing. Jessie is touching so many lives. Our family, our friends in Lubbock (Tech friends), and Bro's baseball team all took time yesterday to speak to God and asked for successful surgery, quick healing, and comfort for mom and dad. May you be feeling the power of Him...loves to you, Wonder woman. :)
Continuing in Prayer for Jessie and her family. Wonderful News!

That is great news!! I've had a good feeling all day about everything. I've been checking in on the website to get updates all day. Jessie is a strong girl and I know she's gonna give her recovery all she's got! She also has an amazing family. I've enjoyed getting to know your family through your blog.I'm in Aledo also but I haven't gotten the pleasure of meeting you all yet. I look forward to it. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Our family has been praying for you all day! We know that God has His loving arms around you, Jessie, your boys,the doctors and nurses. Through Him all things are possible, and we know that He will walk beside you as Jessie begins her recovery. Lots of love from Aledo!!!!!
Jessie, Kristi, and Cris,
I loved having the opportunity to get to know your family through the Star-Telegram article yesterday. Jessie, even though we have not met, I know that your strength and courage are having an incredible impact on many people. What an amazing testimony to God’s sovereignty and grace you are! I pray that you have a flawless and very quick recovery. You are a precious little light! Kristi and Cris, I know how trying this time is, but I am confidant that the Lord is doing great things through your beautiful little girl. Jessie is His vessel, and I know that He has big plans for her. I am familiar with life-altering surgery- a great team of doctors saved my life on November 26, 2007 after years of debilitating illness. Thanks to them, I saw my 22nd birthday, and am back in school. Please know that I am praying that the Lord would surround you all with His peace and comfort as you continue to trust in His perfect will.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jessie and the entire family. I've never met Jessie however, after reading her blog I feel like I do. What a sweet little girl!

Your entire famiy is in my prayers. God Bless you.

the 31 fans was supposed to read, #1 fans!!! Love, EM
It is wonderful news to hear that all has gone well for Jessie and her family today.
Cris and Kristi, the scenes around Aledo would amaze you, I have been taking pictures. Your friends and neighbors have been praying outside of your house, in their own homes and there is a long list of prayer hours at your church. Oh and of course, there are too many pink bracelets on wrists in Aledo to even count them all.
With all the prayers surrounding you, the road to recovery should be blessed too.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God continue to bless precious little Jessie and your family. So many are praying for you!
Kent and Pam Langhofer, Weatherford, TX
My father- Big Joe- just emailed me the blog today. My wife and I have been praying for Jesse all day, and will continue to do so.
