Day +13 (part two)
Photo of the Day
Jesse had his lesson in the playroom today! Here he is with his teacher.
Thank you for your comments, we are all really pleased with the counts. Jesse is wiped out though he has been asleep for a lot of the day. This afternoon he made it to the playroom for a couple of hours. He thrashed me at air hockey (9-5) and then played Nintendo with Derek and even had his lesson there. We even have a yellow sticker on our door this evening.
Our first visitor was Chloe, what wonderful timing that she was around the first day of yellow. Jesse was delighted to see her. It was especially lucky as this afternoon we were told Fox ward is "closed" as some of the nurses have come down with a vomiting bug. This means only the three named visitors for each patient are allowed until the outbreak has been over for 48 hours. So disappointing on the first day of freedom! But Jesse can still go out, we may take him round to the Sick Children's Trust House tomorrow, as Venetia and John were hoping to visit. It depends how he is in the morning.

Jesse had another x-ray of his chest today which was clear, but they are so thorough the doctors are insisting on a CT scan tomorrow. I'll let you know how we get on...Jesse was sick again last night and early this morning so he has been off his food again, but he is still drinking. Even though the counts are good Jesse is still vulnerable and he'll be on steroids for at least three more weeks in order to keep the GVHD under control.
Thank you for your comments and your Valentines messages! No, we hadn't guessed it was you Cory. I hope you all noticed the love sent from Jesse's littlest cousin in Los Angeles, in case you didn't...here is a beautiful, smiling Baby Fisher for you all to enjoy! Congratulations Melanie and Darius, we can't wait to meet him or her at the end of the summer!
love to you all
C & D

Hello there Jesse! [and Claudia and Derek!]
I hope you’re doing allright in hospital, lots of love and hugs from brum! I've been very entertained reading about kippers adventures in your blog! I wonder...would he ever consider a trip to rainy Birmingham? I think he might be better off spending his nights in the Caribbean hey, much better weather!
I've never known many jokes, so here are a few limericks me and mum made up!…
There was a young doggy called Kipper
Who was really a bit of a nipper!
He nipped over here
And he nipped over there
But was always our Jesse’s young Kipper
There once was a brave boy called Jesse
Who’d never been silly or messy
He lived lots of lives
And explored lots of dives
That remarkable young man called Jesse
There was a young fellow called Stanley
Who really was growing quite manley
He popped up to Brum
To hang out with Dom
And now has become Brummie Stanley!
There was a dear mother called Claudia
Who couldn’t have been much more naughtier!
She made lots of noise
And hid all the boy’s toys
That rascally old mum called Claudia!
There was a “young” dad called Derek
Who ran off with Kipper to Berrick
They scampered around
But were chased by a hound
What a daft old dad called Derek
xxx
Love Dom, Annie & Andy
