I don't know Jesse personally, but his mom told me recently he got to meet the cast and crew and see the set of the tv show House thanks to Make A Wish. He was on the photo with my hero dr. Hugh Laurie. He had a sharp twinkle in his eye. I wish and pray his doctors are as good as Dr Laurie and gets better al the way!
He and his mom have been through so much already. They have been fighting together so hard. They must win this fight again!
A candle shines in Europe for Jesse.

Jeanpaul,
That was an awesome read about Jesse meeting the cast and crew. I know he must have been THRILLED ! Did you see the pics they took with him? That was very nice of them to chat with him and let him in on what was going on, during the shoot, and take pictures with him. What an awesome wish granted <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Diane, just got back after being gone for 4 days, I'm so sorry about Jesse. He will be in my prayes, of course. What an awful ordeal for the family. Let us know how they're doing. Tell Patricia (his mom?) we're all thinking of her.

I got this email from Patricia today...........................
Hi all.
Today, Saturday, there has been no improvement in Jesse's condition.
On Friday evening I was told that Jesse is culturing Candida and that this infection has colonized him systemically showing in all of his bodily fluids. He is being treated with two anti-fungals, however it has been determined that Jesse is in a severe coma which has left him with only the very basic brain functions - those which allow the heart to continue beating and which support his lung function. The neurologist has explained that Jesse does not have any of his personality or intellectual brain functions at this time.
It has been explained that the fungal infection has entered the brain and is causing brain cell damage. This is in addition to the build up of toxins due to renal (kidney) failure and that this infection is extremely difficult to treat.
Jesse will continue receiving dialysis each day as well as treatment for the fungal infection. Jesse is also receiving maximum pain management.
There are no indicators that Jesse has any advantage to recover, and so while he is not on life support at this time, he is not expected to pull through. I was advised yesterday evening that those who would like to visit Jesse should do so without delay.
Jesse has had several loving visitors and they are all so very much appreciated by me and Jesse.
