The Krause family — Clayton, Lee-Ann, and Jesse — are now three weeks into the NIH program in Washington, DC. Jesse has undergone numerous medical screenings and scans, including MRIs and CT scans. On the 20th January, Jesse had his testicular biopsy operation at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. The procedure went well, and Jesse has recovered.
They are now in the process of concluding all appointments and interviews with the medical professional teams and are consolidating the final checks and balances in preparation for the transplant process. The confirmed commencement date is 4th February, 2026, which is labeled as Day -6. The transplant will take place on Day 0, and the conditional post-transplant process will continue through Day 100.
It has been an extremely tough time for the family; however, each day brings a positive step closer toward Jesse’s healing. Through it all, Jesse continues to show remarkable resilience and strength. The professional staff at the NIH have been exceptional, and Jesse is most certainly receiving the best care available.
We continue to pray for daily small wins and for overall success in the months ahead. As difficult as this journey will be for the family and little Jesse, we know that with God’s intervention, all will go well. Thank you again for all your love and support. 💙
