Lewis Jeynes: No photos, just a quick entry

No photos, just a quick entry

Just had a major panic. Went to check on Lew and his plaster that holds his tube onto his face had come away and so his tube had become slightly dislodged. I dont know how long it had been like that, but thank God it had only become slightly dislodged. If I had not noticed, and if it had worked its way further out of Lewis' nose (which it does if its not stuck down), the milk that is pump-dripped into his stomach through his tube all night could have started dripping into his lungs. How long until I would have noticed? Would he have started coughing or choking? Or would it have just slowly drip drip dripped into his lungs until he drowned? This is why we have chosen for Lew to have the surgery to have a tube fitted directly into his stomach. Because every single night brings this same worry.

Ok I calmed down a bit and took a photo - after I put ANOTHER plaster on! These arent the 'proper' plasters we are meant to use, but the ones we are meant to use last 1-2 days before they peel off so we have resorted to 'real' plasters in desperation!

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
