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.
