Oakley

Several people have asked me what we have done with Oakley! He has gone to my parents' for a few days to join his cousins, Amy (4) and Kate (11) who are there for half term.

He's having a great time. We were amused (and a tiny bit concerned) to hear first that he's no longer a boy, but a girl like Amy - and then later that he's been upgraded to a Princess; Disney, no doubt.

Hi there Quent Helen and Oakley

Sorry this message has been a long time coming, I've been getting over the shocking news. However, have been reading the updates daily and thinking of you all constantly. I take my hat off to you both for dealing with all this in such a positive way and as has already been said all those positive vibes can only do good and Quent is the king of all things positive.

Much love to you all

Janice Paul Holly & Hannah O'D

I hope this gets through - it is my fourth attempt. It is good to hear your spirits are still high. I passed on Quentin's phone message to Bograts on Thursday. I had better wait until all the tubes are removed until trying to smuggle in a rope and harness to organise an escape, although I am not sure that I have a long enough rope.
Best wishes
Geoff

So, Oakley's dressing up as a girl is he? Sounds like he's passed his audition for the Batchworth Christmas party.

Oakley in drag. Oh dear, this sounds all too familiar. I guess that when he finally appears wearing a real grass skirt and two strategically placed coconuts then we really can say "like father, like son".

All the reprobates at the Halfway House are thinking of you Quent.
Make a speedy recovery.

Quent and Helen,

Edward gave us your news yesterday just before he lifted a cheek and guffed on the sofa in front of Vicki and Lisa. Think yourself lucky you weren't there!

If it is any conselation, Lucy thinks she has a willy and dresses up as a witch.

Best wishes folks. Looking forward to a coming out party.

James and Vicki

Hello from Hillary, Rudi, Anna and Tomas....it is 9:30am on Monday morning and I have been thinking of you all the time since receiveing your email. Thank you for keeping us in the loop and we are very pleased to hear that Quentin is keeping in fine spirits and managing a sense of humor (or is it Helen's sense of humor) through this challenging time. I wish we were there to bring a meal and a nice blow up matress with goose down quilt for Helen while she keeps Quentin company in the hospital. We send lots of love and good wishes your way. You are in our thoughts...Presents arriving for family from amazon so keep watch on your mail. With lots of love, the Poledniks xoxooxxoxo

Good to speak to you Helen and big hugs to you all - Matthew sends an extra big squelchy kiss for Quent and would like to jump up and down on his stitches to make them all better... or eat his nose... or smack him about the head a bit - all favourite games at the moment and guaranteed to make you giggle... though on second thoughts, perhaps not a great idea just now... but some time soon!

Mmmmm green bile, not sure about the diagnosis Hel, have you ever seen The Exorcist? If his head starts spinning round as well, buy lots of garlic, a big cross & get the local vicar in, Father X won't cut it

Take care
