Jess has been pretty sick for the last 3 weeks with a bad cold. Unfortunately, having a cold, not being able to blow his nose and having difficulty swallowing all contribute to his seizures so it has been a vicious circle of worry and sleepless nights. I was able to catch him in time to talk him out of 3 seizures during the middle of the night but he did have one that lasted a little over 10 minutes and we stopped it with medication. They are less severe so far.
He is finally getting better and we have seen a few smiles again this week and he is sleeping better. He has shared most of the smiles with his brother Joey, his wife Angela and little Breck who have been visiting for the last week from Minneapolis. Jess really perks up when he sees his brother and sister or old friends. Dustin came to visit and I could tell he just had so much he wanted to tell him.
We are still working on all possibilities of helping his progress. What else can we do? Hope everyone is starting 2009 with positive thoughts to turn this dreary situation in our world around. Just like we can't give up...we all can't give up! Take care!

Thanks for the update. Poor Jess . . . as if colds aren't bad enough but then not being able to blow his nose! Geez, I hope the cold goes away soon. Best wishes to your whole family. Love Judy Stoltzfus
Hi Chris, Pam & Jess,

HI All,
I'm catching up on the site.
Looking at the December picture of Chris and Jess. Holy Moly, Jess is just about as tall as Chris.
Al that good nutrition.
Spring is slowly approaching. Jess will probably grow another 2 inches this year.
Love Jenn
