About Me
- Jessie
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.

Awww THAT is fantastic to hear! I'm so relieved to hear about Chance breathing on his own. Cris you are a fabulous guy, taking the time out to blog to us about Jessie and telling us about the other children who need our prayers. Thank you. I'm so happy for all of you. Jessie looks great, thanks for sharing the pictures. I am thankful to Kris as well for blogging too when you couldn't. Jessie has great parents and a great family. If I lived in Aledo I would be there on August 16th to help celebrate with Jessie. But I'm here in Baltimore hoping and praying for a wonderful turnout, I think I already know the answer to that prayer. Have a wonderful time and God Bless you all. Karen in Baltimore. <3
