Jesse's Posse : Update.. A few weeks later..

Hi! I am sorry it has taken me so long to update this blog.They say no news is good news and in our case that is exactly right. .I know some of you have been checking blog to get an update on Jesse. First I would like to say thank you to everyone who has followed his blog and sent so much love and support our way..

Jesse 2nd day home... bandage still on from chest tube.

Wound above incision with dark spot is where they removed the skin tag Jesse was born with.

We drove back up to St. Petersburg a week after surgery to see his Cardiologist. They did blood work, took a chest X-ray, an EKG and a Echocardiogram. All the tests came back perfect. The Cardiologist did say he has a small leak still from where they sewed the hole together, which is normal and will close on its own in time. They made an appointment for us to come back Sept. 7th.

Waiting for the Cardiologist to come in. The tape on the incision is starting to fall off.

Jesse continues to improve each day. We are going on with life as usual minus his daily Physical Therapy. The boys started school August 21st.

Family Night Out:

Bath Time:

Each year at school the boys are asked by their teachers to decorate their writing journal however they choose. This is how Jake(3rd grade) chose to decorate his. Can you guess who his stories are always about?

Also, Jake on his 8th Bday last March blew out his candles. He turned to me and said "Mom I made a wish for Jesse". I didn't ask him what it was at that moment. Later on that night when we were alone I asked him what he wished for? He said "I wish that Jesse has a nice life, and that no one makes fun of him". :) He is an awesome Big Brother...

After just 3 weeks..Jesse is army crawling across the room. He is chasing Jake's journal...I hope to think along with his new improved heart it is his amazing raw diet.. He has been eating raw whole fruit and vegetables, drinking wheatgrass and blue green algae.

This is what we ask Jesse ..."Who's so cute?...His answer..MEEEEEEEE!

Doesn't his incision look awesome? I can't believe it looks so great after 3 weeks. We googled why the top is red and this is normal..

Labor Day Week End. Walking and biking(kids) to our favorite Organic Grocery Store for lunch, which happens to be a half mile away.

More photo's Labor Day w/e..

Did my first 5 k today...

Wow, it was great. I am already looking forward to my next one. I have been running for a while now by myself or with friends, between 4-6 miles. It was so nice to run with a group and with a purpose.
