Jay's Story and more.

Dead Dog · 7 Jul 2005 at 20:58

Jay's still doing well, they were @ leicester today for a injection of chemo, sometimes it give him a little grief, but he seems fine and been leaping around like a loon so i think he's OK

still looking good for the pizza sunday!
Jay lost one of his teeth thurday, first one, another 3 are wobblin' too, the price of teeth have gone up since i was a nipper

Bro has lost his trakioptomy /spell?? !, so is breathing normally, and is just starting to swallow, so a couple of little steps forward there !

Hi
well the collection fund thread has been moved to archive, as it's work is done.

We had a fantastic time, jay and lewis realy loved it !, and was great to meet mightynimrod and freefaller, great guys, as you all are

we didn't quite manage a food fight, but we did have some pizza on the head antics

we took some pics so i'll get those sorted and get them up

Thank You All !!

we will post pics of what we get Jay & Lewis when we have them

Dead Dog · 10 Jul 2005 at 21:02

yes was a result, fingers crossed for the bug jam for IanB's treats

Dead Dog · 10 Jul 2005 at 22:03

Dead Dog · 12 Jul 2005 at 12:25

Here you go !!

note : mightynimrod not leting the pizza out of his sight

Jay under attack from the balloon menace A.K.A. freefaller

freefaller eying up Jay's balloon

lost count after the first couple of hundred, how many times we had to rescue the balloons from the ceiling !!, and mightynimrod thought that tieing it round lewis's wrist would stop it

Dead Dog · 12 Jul 2005 at 12:26

don't pop it Jay, this'll be all i'm wearing when i do the table dancing!

mightynimrod and Jay trying to hide when freefaller was balloon dancing on the table.

OOOP's - I have found a fatal flaw in our plan for this weekend.... you cant get one day access on Saturday
This scuppers my plan somewhat, as the cruise will be leaving (and returning.... hopefully) Sat night.
Quick question, are you going for the weekend?
Have started a new thread over at the Redvictor site like last time if you want to wander over

can't get just saturday :confused:

oh well, may just have to go both days then

i've been meaning to give you a tinkle - but the last weeks have shot by

Dead Dog · 20 Jul 2005 at 14:05

we're in the paper !!!

evening telegraph today, much bigger article than i thought too, just over 1/2 a page

Dead Dog · 20 Jul 2005 at 20:49

Here you go !

i've read it loads of times now!, it is just fantastic that you guys on here have made this possible !
Many thanks to all for the support we've had, and a special thanks to mightynimrod & freefaller.
well done to OCUK for creating this forum that has helped ourselves & others, hopefully this will be the last time a story like this appears here, but if it does i know whoever can count on the excellent people in here to go their best .
many many thanks &

to you all !

i'm sure mightlynimrod will get an offer soon to be the new face of Pizza Hut

Dead Dog · 22 Jul 2005 at 21:31

yes mate, i got your e-mail, damn shame you can't make it, i guess i'll have to take plenty of pics and get them up ( which of course i would have anyway

)

i've got a little something else too - i'll sort it in a mo...... :cool:

Dead Dog · 22 Jul 2005 at 21:40

we're only on the front page !!!

sam rang me this morning @ work, said i was on the front page, i was thinking 'what have i done, have mowed someone down, whilst going to work barely awake this week??'

we'll all sign photos, just form an orderly que

Dead Dog · 23 Jul 2005 at 10:48

so cruel

Dead Dog · 28 Jul 2005 at 11:09

yeah, i couldn't believe it when sam said we were on the front page !

stuff will hopefully get posted today, sorry about the delay, been V. busy !

jay meet some of IainB's friends at the bug jam - unfortunately he wasn't feeling quite himself, and was very shy, but we had a chat with ray and colin & anne marie, ray had made him a T-shirt, and ray & anne marie gave him a key ring, sticker and a copy of custom car that features their mota. the cruise didn't happen because of safety reasons ( only about the 3rd time ever thats happened i think i recall them saying ! ), so they said they could arrange it for another meet - which is ace cos jay wasn't up for it at all saturday

, never mind ( he'd just about finished a week of steroids, so wasn't himself !! ), he was wearing his new t-shirt and a bit more up for stuff sunday, but the weather was PANTS so we didn't go up there. Maybe next time

Doh! - we left the memory card at home saturday so no pics - sorry!!, but jay did play with the camcorder haven't looked at it yet, if theres some good shots i'll get them up !!

Dead Dog · 31 Jul 2005 at 22:10

the main item (+the only one so far!! ), we've got jay with your collection money :
jay said he liked this one and another ( see further up thread), so i ordered this one on the sly, jay didn't know i'd ordered it till a postie came calling with a damn big box - i think i can describe him as being quite happy

came with a battery + charger, and i ordered another battery at the same time, so they got charged up and out we went

nice and clean.....

Dead Dog · 31 Jul 2005 at 22:11

not so clean now, managed to find a few teeny puddles

the charger has been very busy over the weekend!

as you can see it has certainly done the job of putting a smile on his face
