Day +17
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the limericks! I'll read the latest ones to Jesse in the morning. Very inventive, I'm impressed!
Today as been much as before, no eating, loads of vomiting, some drinking and lots of diarrhoea. Poor Jesse weighs only 17kg now, so he has lost 2.3kg, we weighed Bernie tonight and he is 12kg! At this rate it won't be long before he is heavier that Jesse. Tonight they have started Jesse on Albumen (IV protein) and tomorrow he will have TPN (a form of IV total nutrition). This is good but can make the stomach "lazy" and puts pressure on Jesse's liver.
I got a bee in my bonnet about Jesse's nausea so I did some investigating. I discovered that the acupressure pads are supposed to be brilliant. So Bernie and I trekked through Oxford St, almost to Bond Street and eventually found a giant Boots that sold the "Sea Bands" for children. And then I LEFT MY BAG WITH ALL MY BOOTS PURCHASES in the shop, but only realised when I got back...so frustrating! Luckily they still have the purchases so Derek will go and collect them tomorrow. After all this walking I am shattered, I'll try to write more tomorrow. Lily is coming to visit & by the way the ward is now open! Must go as I am falling asleep as I write

Dear Claudia, I tried seabands for Lily's car sickness, lots of times, and they didn't work, I'm afraid, so I hope they do for Jesse (although maybe I wasn't good enough at finding the acupressure point). We are all thinking of you all. Bella's got chickenpox and I've been kept awake all night, so I have a tiny, tiny, tiny idea of what you might be going through - and you're amazing!
Hi
Do hope you had a more better day and night...
Got a couple of riddles that if you try hard enough to think of the answers might make you feel a bit better whilst you do all that thinking.
Q: What do you get when you cross a parrot and a shark ?
A: A bird that talks your ear off!
Q: What do you get if you cross a cat with a parrot ?
A: A carrot !
I left Mitch some fancy getwell cards to post to you - have you had them? Also Claudia, your server is returning my mail as spam - HUMPFFFF ( "Humpff", Jesse, is a polite way of saying a rude word.
I think you are all be amazing and don't know where you are getting the strngth from: I would have at least left my head as well in Boots, Claudia. Stick in there, this time will pass!!!
