Escape from Sheffcatraz!!!

We escaped! It was a close one, but we begged pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let us go home and so they have let us come home with lots of medicine! You see, Lewis had his 3rd MRI yesterday at Sheffield and he didnt come round from the anaesthetic very well. He needed oxygen for 30 minutes and had some green stuff coming up from his lungs ... hmmmm!! As a result, we had to stay in last night. Lew has now been allowed home (hooray!) with antibiotics for a chest infection and antibiotic eye drops for an eye infection! He was fine yesterday morning when we went in for his MRI lol! We wont get the results from the MRI for at least a couple of weeks. So hopefully we can RELAX now until 2007! Lew is now losing any abilities in his right hand as well as his left hand which is very worrying. He is also having real problems sleeping as his seizures/twitches are getting much stronger and keep him awake. He is soooo tired love him, he has bags under his eyes, but still he manages to flirt and blow kisses and smile at the ladies!!! He enjoyed making eyes and blowing kisses at two other patients in the ward this morning before we left. Well we are back home now and we are having a rest before Lew's giraffe chair arrives at 1pm hooray! We hope it will give him the support he needs so that he can hopefully be a bit more independent (ie. not have to sit on our laps all the time). The chair is a Jenx Giraffe (do a search on the web to find a pic). Lew has sadly missed nursery this week due to hospital but I hope to get him in for a couple of hours tomorrow so he can see all his friends. Sooooooooooooooooo tired, we are!

Good boy! See you on Boxing Day. Stay away from the hospitals between now and then, nasty places full of germs xxx

Looking forward to Boxing Day. Glad to hear about the antibiotics - should help clear some of the stuff on his chest!

As always - Lewis being a star no matter what. Can't help but love him to bits!

Lots of love, W xxx

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) by e.e.cummings

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
