Lewis Jeynes: Hospital

Hospital

We have been in hospital again today. Lew has had major secretions and then this afternoon he had a big seizure requiring rescue medication which supressed his breathing slightly and combined with the secretions, he was very poorly so I took him to the assessment unit at the hospital. He was put on oxygen for a bit and his levels went up. We left the assessment unit around 9.30pm. Lew is in bed now (my bed, got to keep a close eye on him) and just after 10pm he had another seizure but only a small one (2 minutes) but it did prompt me to ring the hospital and check what I should do if he has another big one tonight - we are to ring an ambulance straight away and get him in. I have packed our overnight bag just in case and now cant sleep as so hyped up and on edge. Arrrghhhh! I just hope he's okay for surgery next Monday.

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
