Jessie / Dr. Carson / Cuba Gooding Jr. ?
http://www.hemifoundation.org/
I just watched a clip from Baltimore about the Upcoming movie "Gifted Hands", the story of Dr. Ben Carson (Jessie's Brain Surgeon). Cuba Gooding Jr. is playing Dr. Carson.
Anyway, this news clip shows Dr. Carson, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Jessie. She's hangin out with some high profile folks these days. Dr. Carson also agreed to be The Hemispherectomy Foundation Honorary Chair of the Medical Advisory Board.
Here's the Link.

Also, Jessie will be on the Channel 21 News at 7:00 tonight to talk about some of these things. Well, she will want to talk about her "Texas" 1st Grade Program probably.
Blessings,
Cris

Jessie and Alex on the Trampoline
Jessie's friend Alex is over for a sleep-over tonight, and they had a little water fun on the trampoline. Only in Texas can you play in the water in January.
Thanks Again Midwest Airlines!
Another Big THANK YOU goes out to Midwest Airlines for flying us up to Baltimore for Jessie's 6-Month post-op check-up!Thank You so much BJ (Dreifke) and all the friendly people at Midwest. BJ, I know that you are reading this, so Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our family. Midwest is the indeed the BEST !!! The hot chocolate chip cookies aren't so bad either.
For those of you who have never flown Midwest, give them a try the next time that you fly. It is a pampered experience and unlike any other airline in business today.
Thanks Again Midwest!!!
With Much Appreciation,
The Hall Family. (Cris, Kristi, Matt, Jake, Josh, Jessie)

Jessie is doing GREAT says Dr. Carson
Jessie Update
Jessie is doing well. We just got back from Baltimore where thedoctors gave her an A+ for her 6 month post-op checkups.
Her neurologist (Dr. Vining) told us to do one more EEG, and if itlooks good, she could taper off of Keppra, and be down to one AED(Tegretol, 100mg x 3 times daily). I love the idea of being down toone AED, but scared all at the same time.
They were very pleased with her arm and leg mobility, but we arecautious as we know things will tighten up as she moves forward.
In Baltimore, we took care of a lot of business. We met with thefoundation's OT and PT from Kennedy Krieger Rehab. We met with outNE Regional Director (Jane Stefanik)and our Specialty Director -Rasmussen's (Lynn Miller). We talked 2009 Conference and Reunion withthem and what we would like to do.We also had the priveledge of meeting with the LeFevers family who'sdaughter will be having surgery very soon.
It was an amazing trip, and the capstone was when Dr. Carson agreedto be The Honorary Chair of our Medical Advisory Board. This is the life story of Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson, the Brain Surgeon that performed Jessie Hall’s hemispherectomy brain surgery. He is Christian and an extremely talented surgeon. Please pass this on to anyone you know who might be interested in it.
