Day +26
Photo of the Day
Jesse had his first solid food (two thirds of a coco pops straw) for 15 days this morning. He kept it down and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sadly the consultant this afternoon has asked for no food or drink if possible till the end of the week at least. He was concerned that Jesse managed to produce a staggering 1.4 litres of diarrhea yesterday (from an empty stomach). He feels the steroids have settled the upper gut but that the lower gut needs a total rest.Jesse had another good day. Three sessions in the play room on the game cube (I'm getting better at MarioKart, I can now beat Jesse sometimes) wore him out. He had a four hour sleep this afternoon, woke at 6pm and was in bed for the night at 8.30. He has been so happy and full of good spirit, it has been wonderful to be round him. It does feel like we have turned a corner. I know there are lots of things that can go wrong, but at the moment he is progressing well. He was very happy for me to take his photo and very proud to be able to eat. He keeps doing things a little too fast, forgetting how weak he is. This evening he got off his bed so fast he fell over. I keep saying him "keep your hair on...oops, I forgot you can't...because you haven't got any hair!" He roars with laughter every time!
It was a good thing Jesse slept again this evening. Hilary came over and we went to a local Chinese, we had a lovely evening. It was so refreshing to get out. In fact I had a very sociable day altogether, Maggie was in the area this morning so she popped by for a cuppa and a chat. So I feel pretty human today, thank you both! Gaby, sorry about the spam. I have asked Derek to check it out but he can't find a problem. Thursday 8 March would be good for me, give me a ring on 020 7762 6249 and we can firm it up! I'd love to meet up. Must go as I am starting to fall asleep. Thank you for every body's comments, Jesse hasn't been up to looking at them recently but I'll have a catch up session soon and I'm sure he'll be delighted,
lol

What lovely pink cheeks you've got Jesse!
love, S
Darling Jesse, We knew you could do it! Just take the recovery bit slowly so that your body can catch up with itself. We're so glad that you're talking again, I'm sure that's because you know the worst is over, and there's lots to plan.
Lots of love to you and your lovely family,
Ken and Rosalind
I think Pocchiella should ask Skipp. to buy her a huge great PINK sunhat, with lots of ribbons to flutter in the breeze to help them both keep cool. I'm leaving Tobago for Englad tomorrow so could let Pooch have mine, but its a very boring battered straw thing.
Ok - more riddles, think carfully the answers arre realy realy realy obvious.
Q: What is a chick after she's 6 days old?
A: Seven days old!
Q: Why does a flamingo stand on one leg?
A: Because if he lifted that leg off the ground he would fall down .
Thursday it is Claudia.
Hugs all round

Hi Jesse,
we're really sorry that we haven't sent any comments for a while, but we've been on holiday. We went to Dubai and had a lovely time.
It was Mollie's first holiday, and her first trip on an airplane. We were a bit worried that she might not enjoy it, but she seems to enjoy everying and the flights were no problem.
It sounds like lots has happened while we've been away. We're sorry that the treatment has made you feel so horrid, but it's all going to be worth it. You have so many friends and relatives and doctors and nurses all wanting you to get better as soon as you can!
Claudia asked ages ago if she could share Rachael's baked bean joke with everyone - I think that must have been the day we went away, but the answer is - of course you can!
Now that we're back we'll keep on reading the blog, and try to think of some more jokes (or maybe even a limerick).
Take care, and keep getting better!
lots and lots of love,
Simon, Rachael and Mollie
Jesse, you still look as lovely as ever. Shana had to go to hospital yesterday, and had to have blood taken from both her hands, she certainly wasn't as brave as you are being!!!! Lots of love Helen xxxxx
Hi Jesse and Claudia,
What a fantastic photo - what beautiful pink cheeks!
lots of love from us all - Giblets xxxxx
Hi Jesse
Really pleased to see you after such a long time! Charlie's bum seems to behaving just like yours. He did the biggest, runniest poo in the world yesterday after having eaten some sweet potato. It made me laugh as his dad was changing him at the time. Found a very old joke today and I thought I'd send it to you.
Q: What did the Mexican fireman call his two sons?
A: Jose and Hose B.
Ha ha.
Lots of love
Joolz, Chris and Charlie in Birmingham
