Day +4
This is going to be a short post (phew I can hear you saying!). I am hungry and going off to see Derek for an hour before bed...Jesse is still doing fairly well. But he really isn't eating at all. The only thing he is taking at the moment is UHT milk, but today was very sick twice and so a lot of what he had drunk came up. But the good news is he hasn’t developed any more mouth sores today and the small one yesterday is almost healed. His bum is still sore but not too bad. Generally he is still in good spirits.
Today was much busier and I feel like a different person, Elaine (a friend I met through our baby group in Brighton) rang last night to say she was coming here today for an appointment for gorgeous Ruby, so she took me out for a coffee. Luckily Jesse was well enough to be playing on his war game so didn’t mind me going. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have some adult conversation and to get out of the hospital! This afternoon Jesse had a lesson so I got out again and bought myself a dress and a pair of jeans (I keep running out of clothes, 4 skirts just isn’t enough) and then I met up with Derek. I took Bernie out for a brisk walk to Waterstones in Gower St to stock up more Famous Five while Derek spent a couple of happy hours with Jesse (reading the Secret Seven).
I'm going to go now. Keep in touch, we love to hear from you, fingers crossed for tomorrow...
love
Claudia

Dear Jesse,
I remember adoring The Famous Five. They were the first books I really loved. I think I may have to borrow one of yours to remind myself how great they were. Good to think they are still so popular. Or maybe I'll just go and buy one and read it to Zara when she's a little bit older.
I took Ivan down to Sussex at the weekend. He cried most of the way down in his basket but liked it when he got there. Sally came to see him and play with him which was fun. He was so good on the way back home and hardly cried, so I hope he will get used to the journey. I'd love you to come and see him when you are better.
lots of love,
Sue
Hello Jesse, it was really strange going to your house on saturday, and none of you were there. Hope you will be able to eat something soon. Big hugs and kisses and to mummy, daddy and Bernie. Lots of Love Helen xx
Dear Jesse
Have just caught up with your blog - you're doing really well.
I've got 1 or 2 little jokes for you (you'll have to excuse me if you've already heard some of them).
Here goes:
How do hens and roosters dance? - chick to chick. (My joke - Benji doesn't think it's very good)
What do you get if you cross a skeleton with a detective - Sherlock Bones. (Benji's joke)
What did the policeman say to his tummy? - you're under a vest.
What do you call a camel with three humps? - Humphrey (think you might have heard this one already).
Lots of love Jesse
Emma, Jim, Benji and Jake

Hi Jesse
It's good to hear how you're getting on.
Here are a few jokes for you:
This bloke said to my brother, 'I think I'm a clock you know.'
My brother said, 'Well don't get wound up about it.'
This bloke said to my brother, 'My trouble is I keep thinking I'm a strawberry.'
My brother said, 'You're in a jam then aren't you.'
The man said, 'My problem is I keep stealing things.'
My brother said, 'You'd better take something for that.'
A man went to the doctors, saying 'Dr, Dr I think I'm a pair of curtains.
'Pull yourself together'
I really think you ought to publish your own joke book when you're back home....I love reading the jokes you're sent, I just wish I could remember them.
It's lovely hearing about how you are getting on and you sound so brave- what a soldier!
Take care and please say hI to you Mum, Dad and Bernie

Three names later, and I've just been told by Joby that I don't need a name - sighs. I had asked him to forward my last 'post to you'because I wasn't sure that I had Claudia's correct email address.. Actually my typing was realy awful that day - I am surprised that he didn't correct it.... hope you managed to read it.
AnywayI just did a test about a shark and parrot joke and it seems to have worked but I did on another page - sorrry - guess was an old lady moment.
Still haven't seen Kipper - tho Tobaga is a place where people come to get married.. so I guess that if if and Pooch***** (I'll never type that right) do get married here I might get to know about it. It's a very small island and everybody knows what is going on.
I used to love the Famous Five too tho wasn't sure about George always being the one who had to to clean up
Joby's Partner who is Daisey and Kieran's mum's name is Georgina, George for short - and I am sure she wdn't be happy being left to do all the cleaning.
I do hope that you feel well enough too finish off that Turkish Delight soon, I've heard that some dogs like it so you had better keep it hidden away.
Glad you are managing to get the odd break Claudia!!! Hi to Derek and everyone
gaby.
Sorry to hear you can't eat very much jess. It must be rubbish.
Hope you feel better once you've seen how much kipper enjoyed his recent trip to kirrin island!
Loads of love,
Stan xxxxxxxx

Hey Jesse,
I can confirm that Poichiella Puddleduck does indeed look very much like that picture, although as a girl she is obviously far more feminine... that doogy is much more butch and she is actually light pink not yellow... she is a very rare breed of dog/ duck.
Skippy is becoming concerned about his lack of a lady dog/ wallaby friend. He is an excellent catch as he can jump about 15 metres into the air and is excellent at changing light bulbs. He is also a very good singer and often sings frank sinatra's greatest hits whilst cooking paella.
Seems like you are being a total hero Jess, i'm so impressed by you!
All my love to you all,
Leo
PS Jesse does Kippuer know what the word 'love' is in french?
