I just want to kiss his sweet litte face. I can't imagine how devastating yesterday's new was for you both, your parents, aunts, etc. We, like you, want to prove the prognosis wrong. We are all behind you 100%. Please...give him a big, fat kiss from us:)
xoxo Wendy, Steve & kids that are desperate to meet Jetty!!!
Good Morning little man!!!

Hello Handsome!!
Hi, I just wanted to ask if you had looked into stem cells, we saved our sons just in case something would happen to him, our daughter, or even one of us (others stem cells can be compatible with different people). I know there is alot of debate about the issue, but the stem cells are harvested from cord blood, it does not effect babies, and can be stored, there are many donation centers that have cord blood on hand that could be compatible with Jetty. Basically, stem cells are extremely strong and healthy cells that have the ability to turn into anything that you place them in. Stem cells can be used to generate nerves, tissue, and any other part of the body. There was a special on Oprah that used these cells to generate an ear! Its amazing and may be a chance for Jetty to produce some of the tissue that was damaged in his brain, he is a step up from other babies in that his body is functioning well and he is of normal size and all, if started early enough he could develope fairly normal, and the seizures could be calmed down. I know that you all have a lot on your plate, and that you have taken in a great deal of information all ready, please look into it. Not all hospitals may suggest it as an option because it was debated when the cells were taken from fetus', but that is not the case now days. I am a parent, and I know when your child has a problem things can get overwhelming, but I also know that I would try almost anything to help solve the problem, or help it. Please look into it, and if you have Drs there that may say no, look for a hospital that is open with the treatment, just to discuss options. AI Dupont (a hospital in Wilmington) is currently using stem cells for treatment, with success. Please look into it, even if it is not what your beliefs may be.

Oh jeez.... I wrote the above 2 comments, I realized I rambled about things that were not important right now, so I wanted to delete it then I thought the secong comment could cover up the first so I started that. Please disgard those and here is what I would like to write...
Stem cell research has made many advances with damaged/injured brain regeneration. The AI Dupont hospital is leading in rare infant and child cases. If it is something you guys would be interested in looking into. Sorry for my other comments...
Jetty is so adorable, and so lucky to have you two for parents! You three have amazing strength and our prayers are with you. Take care!
Good morning Jetty!
Lots of kisses from Aunt Deana and Uncle Ed...xoxoxo
