UPDATE !!! (2/27/14) : jesse had his first big relief today while spending time with his dad. he explained that all night and morning, there was a pain in his chest, likely the pleurectomy as the culprit. then, in a moment, the pain changed form and felt 10x better. he isn’t pain free, but he describes it as a 2 on a scale of 1-10. that’s the medical stuff and all signs of improvement.

now when it comes to feelings of the heart, we were both replenished this afternoon, when lancet came in to get some scratches and give some cuddles. here are the photos. prepare to be happy:
