Lewis not well

Hello, just a quick hello to say Lewis isnt well. After 3 visits in one week to the assessment unit at the hospital as I knew there was something not right with Lew, we saw his paediatrician for his regular check up and were told Lew has a bad chest, and he now has two inhalers. Ventolin to help open his airways to help him to breath better and a steroid inhaler, not sure what this does but he's got to have it for at least 3 months. Since starting the inhalers, Lew's chest has got worse. Now perhaps without the inhalers his chest would have been MUCH worse, I dont know. But if he continues to cough, choke and wheeze the way he has done today, we will be back at the assessment unit tomorrow!!! Despite Lew being ill, he has been very happy to see his Aunty Nicola, Uncle Lee and especially his cousin Evie whom he adores! We also had a very special night last night (Friday) at the fashion show which was arranged almost single-handedly by our now very good friend Alison Firbank, and towards the end by her 'accomplice' George! I will add photos and more details about the night when Lewis is feeling better and I can concentrate more. Please do leave your comments. The comments space is looking very empty!

So sorry Lew isn't good at the moment - I think the winters are going to be a bit of a trial for you...perhaps you should move to warmer climes! Plenty of room for you all here as always.

Thinking of you - lots of love, hugs and kisses,

Hope Lew is feeling better today.
Just a comment to say how I enjoyed friday night also, and hope you raised loads.
My daughter is Ellie the 11 year old girl who sang a couple of songs, and I would just like to pass on how proud she felt to be there, and hopes she added to a successful and enjoyable evening.
Take Care

mattydj said...: Hi, I was very proud to be at the Holiday Inn last Friday taking part in your special evening. It was a pleasure to see all those people from all walks of life giving up their time to raise money and support you all. Come the end, I was absolutely exhausted, but the look on Lewis's face as we played Save All Your Kisses For Me made my night.
Sorry to hear he's not too good, hope things go OK.
With best wishes,
Matthew Western

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
