The Lewis Jeynes Fund would like to say a big thank you to SOLACE and Katherine Kerswell, who is President this year, for supporting the Fund at their Annual Dinner which will take place on 3rd February this year. It is always nice to know that people are reading about our work and taking in some of the troubles Lewis and his friends go through. Don’t forget to look at Lewis’s Facebook Fan Page for daily updates. With the funds we have raised lately we have been able to donate £300.00 to Lewis' school - Heatherwood School for children with special needs. This was a donation in memory of Madison Delaney a school classmate of Lewis’s who got her angel wings just before her 5th birthday in November. We have also purchased a sensory projector for Cameron Key from Stoke. Cameron has severe epilepsy.

For those of you who dont know already, Lewis was ambulanced into hospital this week with increased seizures. While at the hospital he had to be given strong medications to control his seizures and as a result of this he did stop breathing which was very very scary. The hospital staff at Doncaster Royal Infirmary (Ward 31) were fantastic and responded super fast to make sure that Lewis was okay. It was a terrifying time and we hope he doesnt do it again! Lewis is fine now and back at home.
Lewis has been ill since arriving home from hospital on Christmas Eve, with a stomach bug causing sickness, etc. He has not been able to keep his milk down so has been on fluid replacement and water for the past few days with as much milk as we can manage to squeeze into him without it causing further sickness. He's very weak and not himself at all and his head holding and speech attempts are zero. It's very sad but we are at the moment definitely putting it down to weakness, although the suspension of his antibiotics due to his massively increased seizures cannot have helped at all. Its a very frustrating time .. I think Lewis needs a long holiday in a hot country - this cold weather is no good for him at all :(

The Lewis Jeynes Fund
The Lewis Jeynes Fund was established to provide care and support to Lewis Jeynes and the success of the Fund has meant that we have also been able to purchase specialist equipment for other children with undiagnosed neurologically degenerative conditions in Doncaster and the UK.
Lewis and his friends around the UK all suffer from acute and undiagnosed life limiting or terminal conditions and very often specialist equipment is difficult to afford due to the changed circumstances at home. This is where the Fund can provide vital assistance to those in need. All of the proceeds of the Fund go straight towards helping Lewis, and other children and families like him and us.
Contributions should be sent to The Lewis Jeynes Fund, 15 Kentmere Drive, Doncaster, DN4 5FL or by BACS to Nat West Bank, “The Lewis Jeynes Fund” Account No. 35662565 Sort Code 60 06 39. You can also go into your local Nat West Bank and pay into the Fund over the counter.

i love you much (most beautiful darling), more than anyone on the earth and i like you better than everything in the sky -sunlight and singing welcome your coming although winter may be everywhere with such a silence and such a darkness, no one can quite begin to guess (except my life) the true time of year - and if what calls itself a world should have the luck to hear such singing (or glimpse such sunlight as will leap higher than high through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each nearness) everyone certainly would (my most beautiful darling) believe in nothing but love
