Lew has not been himself for a few days, I have known something was coming, just not known what.
Well today he has been very poorly, he has had two seizures (one requiring rescue medication) and he has had several absences, he's not really smiled, and he's been very distant.
He's had trouble breathing, lots of secretions in his throat, and he almost suffocated when his head fell forward in the car and he couldnt lift it back up again and so his airway was blocked. I had a major panic as I had to wait a few seconds (probably 30 seconds) to pull over without causing an accident and I am afraid I lost it a bit, and got Lew out of the car, gave him a big long cuddle and cried my eyes out.
Lew's tube also came out (again, third time this week) so that had to be re-passed. Bless him, by 6pm he was so tired, absolutely shattered, with dark circles under his eyes. He's in bed now, fast asleep. Let's hope its doing him some good.
The worry is of course that he will be too poorly for his surgery on 16th July, but we hope that whatever 'bug' he has picked up will have gone by then. It does mean though that we are going to be very unsociable this next 10 days to avoid Lew picking up any other infections.
I know I still owe you all a proper update for the last week or so, but to keep you going until then, here are some recent photos. And dont forget to check out the videos on You Tube if you havent already - http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=SmnthJeynes

At the New Tribes Mission Fun Day on Saturday 30th June (will tell you more about that when I do the proper update). Lew had a fish painted on his cheek. As you can see it was a very busy day and he needed a bit of a power nap!
Lewis with our wonderful friend Yolanda and her youngest son Joel who is 1 day older than Lew!
