Hello all,

GoJetterBoy after 2 years of fighting has finally lost the energy to fight, I’m currently sat with him in hospital, having come in a few days earlier for pain management.

I really need a handhold right now...

I'm glad that this thread is giving you a small bit of comfort at such a difficut time.

I know you mentioned you are reading the posts and your little go jetter loves knowledge so here are a couple of random facts he might like;

Applesauce was the first food eatten in space by astronauts

Some tornadoes can be faster than
Formula One race cars!

The strawberry is the only fruit that bears seeds on the outside.

Apples float because they are one quarter air!

One million Earths could fit inside the sun!

Even in an airplane, a trip to Pluto would take about 800 years.

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain

Xx

@GoJetterGirl, it is such a privilege to read about your beautiful boy. I love that he would write you good luck letters. That shows his sweet and caring spirit. Those letters and his drawings and notebooks are priceless treasures.

You mentioned that DS adores his little brother. Has he enjoyed teaching him fun things?

Sending you and your precious child strength and love from the U.S.

HumphreyCobblers · 25/02/2020 04:34

Your boy sounds just wonderful. What lovely things you are sharing with us, his imagination and curiosity and affection for his family x

Sending you a handhold too, along with all the others.

QueenOfOversharing · 25/02/2020 04:46

Awake & checking in on you @GoJetterGirl and of course GoJetterBoy

I hope he has settled ok now & that you maybe get a little sleep. I'm sure he's dreaming vivid, colourful dreams of everyone & everything he loves.

I have been finding out about the Go Jetters - they sound amazing - and I made a little meme for GoJetterBoy as I know they are sending him all their love. (I hope that's ok!!!)

My DS spent a lot of time in Gt Ormond St Hospital over the years and when he was older, he was visited by Chris Martin from Coldplay.

Just off to work but still here thinking of you and your lovely boy. Dd is 12 now but she also needed to know everything. We spent a lot of time looking things up that I had no idea about! Flowers

Stilllivinginazoo · 25/02/2020 05:07

I'm here if you are awake lovely.ive no profound comforting thing to say but this is MN at its best,no matter what time it is there's someone to listen.always

Loving the little snippets of your beautiful boy

Bluetrews25 · 25/02/2020 05:12

I hope you can both feel the love through the ether.
We're all still here, thinking of you and sending support.
And maybe toast, which is always good in a hospital!

neverdoingthatagain100 · 25/02/2020 05:14

I'm sending another hand hold and hug for you xxx

Darcydashwood · 25/02/2020 06:04

Sending love and strength to you and your brave boy x

pinkhousesarebest · 25/02/2020 06:11

Woke up this morning thinking of you both. Wishing you strength.

Loladisco · 25/02/2020 06:12

Awake and checking in for an early morning hand hold.

The Gojetters are great, I have pet birds and if I need to go out I leave cbeebies on for them. I often find them watching Gojetters, then sit down and watch them myself. My son loves the baby club, especially the wiggle and tickle song they always sing

Also a Minecraft fan, I've just finished building a strained glass window on my base that looks like a Tetris game. Took ages but looks really good.

OP sending you so much love, hugs and strength.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 25/02/2020 06:15

@GoJetterGirl so many of us sending you live and strength as you go through this. I think love is coming to you both from all parts of the globe. Let's see.

I will start. Support and love from your friend in San Francisco ❤️

Habibtihayati · 25/02/2020 06:16

Sending love and prayers for you, your little boy and your whole family xxx

iamruth · 25/02/2020 06:32

I’m someone else thinking of you both from out here in the vastness of the internet. There are no words, I’m so very sorry. I’ll continue to carry thoughts of you both with me throughout my day (and probably be humming go jetters theme tune along with it too).

Scrunchcake · 25/02/2020 06:34

Your boy sounds like a beautiful wee soul. Sending love and peaceful thoughts to you and him ❤️

MooseBeTimeForSummer · 25/02/2020 06:44

Another person checking in from far across the internet. Thinking of you GoJetterGirl and your precious boy.
The Northern Lights are out faintly. I hope Glitch doesn’t turn up and obscure them with smoke!
Sending virtual hugs with that handhold.

lumpy76 · 25/02/2020 06:54

Still here and still holding you both (and your wider family) in my thoughts. I have 8 children myself including a 6yr old boy and 8yr old girl. Your pain must be overwhelming OP - I hope the people here are helping you just a tiny bit. Keep telling us all of the good times. We will remember your boy xxx

Dennisreynoldsduster · 25/02/2020 06:59

Another one stopping by to say your boy sounds wonderful. I have had tears in my eyes reading this thread - you’re right, some people are just too good for this world as much as we want them in it.

He sounds like a joy @GoJetterGirl and I am so sorry you are going through this but so happy you have had him in your life. Thinking of you so much and from one stranger to another, all the love and strength in the world x

Blackdog19 · 25/02/2020 07:02

Sending you both love. Your ds sounds an amazing boy.

autumnboys · 25/02/2020 07:03

Thinking of you and sending light & strength. ❤️

peanutbear · 25/02/2020 07:04

Sending lots of love to you and your wonderful boy x

FusionChefGeoff · 25/02/2020 07:07

Oh my - you are in my thoughts today as I just go about my day. I am glad to hear you have lots of RL support and just make sure you take it all. Those that offer and stick around are genuinely delighted to do anything however small to help.

Your boy sounds awesome and this is just unbearably sad.

toomuchtooold · 25/02/2020 07:09

I remember you from your PiL threads, I was always impressed by how you kept your composure and acted as a shield against any of the bullshit for your wee boy, in the face of a great deal of provocation.

Big Minecraft fan here also! Was he more of an explorer or a builder? Did you have to learn about Creepers and Endermen and skeletons and which one was the hardest to defeat?
