Jessica used the moment to slide in some family news while still keeping the focus on Maxwell.
Taking to Instagram, Jessica didn’t hold back getting real about her faith and family.

“Maxwell’s birthday wish was for her Papa Joe’s bone cancer treatment to work. It did,” Jessica expressed. “Thank you Maxi Drew for usin’ your wish on our family and most importantly, my Dad.”
