Day +279

I will have to be very quick (I know I always say it but this time I mean it) because I have escaped to Tutti's for a decaf cappuccino and a blog update. Lily is holding the fort and told me not to do the blog as I'll be gone for ages...Thank you thank you thank you for all the wood touching. I think it may have worked but please keep doing it, we're not out of the woods yet (pun intended). But Jesse is great today, he slept all night again and this morning has been off oxygen for well over two hours. He is chatty, funny and full of beans, in fact our lovely Jesse is back with us. He's been out in the wheelchair and even done some walking. He is asleep now as he's worn himself out.

Yesterday we did some card making in the evening. Lily was puzzling out how to use the sticker maker Ruth had given us, Jesse piped up load and clear "Hand it over here Lily, you know I'm very clever so I can work it out!" From that moment we haven't looked back. He made loads of cards, one of them he made with dogs in the shape of a cross and said it was a dogligious card (instead of religious). He then told us all about how the Egyptians used to mummify everyone including the slaves.

Thank you for your posts, I've downloaded them and will take them back to him. He loves hearing from you all as do I.
love

PS The dogs are behaving themselves, they haven't left his side through all this and have been brilliant and supporting arms, necks, ventilators etc. Jesse has three new dogs who have settled in well; Spot the Dalmatian (he's rather large), Lucky the puppy and of course Baggins the Basset Hound (who unfortunately has spent a lot of time sniffing Jesse's feet)

Dear Jesse and all your family,

All of us at Milman Road have been following your progress and touching wood, praying to our deities and thinking of you all through the last weeks. Leo sends her love from California, she emailed me on Saturday in great consternation at the news on your blog and wants you to know that all our thought powers are going out to you. We're all so glad to hear that you are doing so well. You are a very special boy and I know you'll be home soon to enjoy all your people and things.
Our dog is barking for you too.

Lots of love to you all.

Ruth

Dear Claudia,
Thank you so much for the blogs - thinking of Jesse all of the time so incredibly grateful for your efforts to keep in touch. Seems that all that crossing of every thing that can be crossed is having its effect. Well done Jesse!
Love, Chloe

hey Jesse,
here in germany we say "ich drücke dir die daumen" which means one sticks his thumbs into his fist, well, I guess that is a funny translation. The good thing is that I need just two finges at work for typing and so I can hold my thumps for you all day and easily at night. Just dessing Malu with holding thumbs is difficult. Holding thumbs means wishing you luck all day and night. Lobe from Berlin Maike

That dogligious comment was so Jesse!

As Cory says, May the Pants be With You! (Capt Underpants fans will understand.)

Big hugs from us here in Brighton, how's Derek? I'll try to pop in or tell him to come round for a cuppa if he needs a change of scene xxx

Well with those dogs a round you - there's lottsa hairs to cross - seems realy furry ones can have up to 600 hairs per, er inch - 2 and half cm by
2 and half - over to u Claudia....

I guess bits of you and equipment lying across across Spot Lucky n the Basset count as crossed hairs too.

an Iridoglious joke:
Q: How many legs to sled dogs have?
A: Six. Forelegs at the front and two at the back!

So if they lie downn like Joby's Corrie then thats more crossingof hairs......

luv to all
