Chantals baby jessie

Chantal used to be a frequent contributor to this site but has not been on as much lately since her son Jessie was diagnosed with a rare liver disease which requires him to have a transplant. I would like to provide this update for those familiar with her story.

Jessie was admitted to the ICU last night due to breathing difficulties.  He has a lot of fluid in his belly which is contributing to this but can't have it drained because his blood isn't clotting correctly.  The doctors have now found fluid on his lungs and think he also has a severe infection.  He is currently intubated with a central line and will not be leaving the hospital until he has had a tranplant.  It looks like chantals brother may be a match but this isn't confirmed yet.

Please keep baby Jessie and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  I know Chantal will appreciate this.

Oh thank you spade! I was thinking about doing this also after seeing her post on FB. I am so worried about little Jesse! I will continue to pray for her and Jesse...........

If someone could repost this on the maternal and child forum that would be great.  My only Internet is with an iPhone and I can't figure out how to copy and paste.

I will keep this family in my thoughts. I pray that the transplant works out for Jessie.

Chantal has been my friend on here for about 3 years.  Jesse and my baby Mary were born very close together.  This just breaks my heart tremendously.....I will keep Jesse and Chantal and her whole family in my prayers.  May God keep them all in His loving arms.

hey spade I posted it it on the maternal and child forum. I hope to hear some good news about Jesse soon!

[LosingMyMindInGA]

Oh NO!   This is so sad.  Little Jessie is a fighter and I pray that her brother is a match, if not that one can be found quickly.  Keeping her and her son in my thoughts and prayers.  Please keep us update on how they are both doing.  I know this is just as hard for her to watch him go through as it is for him to have to endure it.

We'll be praying for them.

Ladies I don't want to be the one to update this, but one of the ladies on the Maternal and Child forum updated to say that Jesse passed away yesterday. I don't know if it's accurate and I don't have Chantal on facebook and her Jesse Foundation Page hasn't been updated so I can't confirm...but that's what I just read ..hoping it's not true :'(

Unfortunately, jesse did pass away yesterday...she is on my facebook and i kept checking on her updates, I haven't been on here in a lil while, but when i looked this morning, I came across messages like we will keep you and James in our hearts, jesse was a great little boy...I couldn't believe it myself, I still can't, as a mom wow... there are no words...I'm so sorry Chantal

[Ashelen]

thank you for clearing it up...it's so sad I still can't believe it...as I said on M&C my heart and prayers go out to Chantal's family right now, I have no words to describe how heartbroken I am for them.

[CYW]

[spade22]

Yes, he did pass away yesterday.  This is so, so, sad   :-(

[Majikat]

You should have read a little bit more. Baby Jesse passed away.

[nickieb85]

OMG! Poor Chantal! I can't believe that this happened. Poor Jesse and poor family =(

[Michele, Katy, TX]

I just got a text from one of my MH friends.  She told me this very tragic and sad news....I am just speechless....I started crying and called my DH.  I just told him about this last night.

Chantal, please know that I am praying so hard for you and your family.  Please just know that.  And please just know that you and your family have touched so many.  If you need anything, please always know that I am here.  I am just so sorry.  I feel like that sounds so lame, but yet, I don't know what else to say.  I know that there are no words to express how sorry I am and I just pray for God to ease your pain.  You have been so positive through this and such an inspiration to so many.  May God bless you and your family and keep you in His loving care.  God bless you and your family and baby Jesse.
