Team Jess up-date from Richard Kill
I am pleased to let you all know that Jess is recovering well from her two recent surgeries and we hope to get her back home next week.
She has had a very tough time off it over the last week or so because a certain medication she was taking caused her to have severe nausea which it turn drastically reduced the effect of the pain relief.
The good news is that she seems to be over that now and her surgeon is very happy with the way she is healing and is happy for her to fly home earlier than planned.
Jessica will now have many weeks of rest together with specialist physiotherapy before she is finally able to completely get back to where she wants to be. The main thing is she does now have future to look forward to and that is down to all you wonderfully kind people out there. I know she will want to up-date you personally once she is back home, in the mean time thank you all once again for your support.

I'm not gonna lie, That was the hardest night of pain i have ever endured, but the kind nurses got me through and gave me some much needed support throughout the night. Onwards and upwards now. And yep, that's 'mild' Ehlers danlos syndrome bruising on my arm lol. Hopefully be out of hospital on Friday latest ready to recouperate at our friends Fiona Monaghan and Barry monaghan in Queen's.

This is Richard Kill on Jess's F.B.
Am very pleased to say that Jess is out of surgery after spending around 10 hours in the operating room. She is awake and talking but in a lot of pain which is not surprising given what she has gone through. The medics had to give her anti vomiting drugs before giving her pain relief which is now happening. It has been a long long stressful day, it is now 1.30 am and a I need to go to bed.

Hi Everyone.
I am so sorry about the delayed update. It's been a frantic few days since reaching the fundraising total and then travelling to the US. I arrived on Saturday feeling very tired and emotional but relieved. Tomorrow I am going to the hospital for all my pre op testing ready for my first surgery on Wednesday. I'm so grateful to each and everyone of you for giving me the opportunity to fight for an independent future with a quality of life I haven't had for so long. It's going to be a tuff recovery, but each step will get me closer to phase 3, which I call "getting back to life". Many thousand thank you's you wonderful humans. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
All my love

I am so happy to tell you all that we have reached our target of £180,000.00!
I can't thank everyone enough for all of their hard work and generosity over the past 15 weeks. You have been incredible. My flight is booked and this time next week I will be in surgery. All of this is thanks to my wonderful friends, family and over 4500 kind strangers. Human kindness is alive and well in this world.
Now I'm heading into phase 2 which I call "get fixed" and then phase 3 "get back to life". All of this is thanks to you guys. Thank You all so much xxxxxxx
