'Tis the season to be jolly!

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR GUEST BOOK! LEWIS AND MATTHEW GOT A MESSAGE FROM FATHER CHRISTMAS!!!! Lots and lots of Christmas stuff going on at this time of year! Its great! We are soooo busy!
But please do remember the children who will be in hospital or very poorly at home or in hospices at this time of year.
Lewis' buddy Nathan has a chest infection and is feeling a bit rough (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nathanbovell).
Lewis' other buddy Declan is still in the hospice, but his mum and dad and big brother are hoping they can have Declan home in time for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve (http://www.declan-kelly.com/).
There are so many children you can help and support this Christmas at http://www.postpals.co.uk/.
And of course not forgetting Lewis who yesterday afternoon was rushed to hospital in an ambulance as he had a massive tonic clonic seizure (3rd in his entire life) which frightened both James and I immensely. We got him home again late yesterday evening, but the medication he had been given made him very zombie-like which was scary in its own way. He's back to himself this morning, so fingers crossed no more horrid seizures this year please!
Thank you to all the postpals Lewis and Samuel have received cards and gifts and letters from so far this month. Thank you to Despina for your card, thank you to Kate Dee for your card, thank you Laura H for the card, than you to Sian and Jamie for the huge Christmas parcel and letters and card, thank you to Julie and Alan Barratt for the cards and the Christmas parcel. Thank you very much to Postpals for Lewis' Christmas gift (the singing and flashing Christmas tree!). All the wrapped gifts have gone under our Christmas tree until the big day! We are not sending Christmas cards this year, so please dont feel offended that you havent received one from us if we normally send one.
Lewis has been able to go back to nursery this month which he has really enjoyed! He also went to a Christmas party with Homestart (http://www.home-start.org.uk/) and met Father Christmas a little bit early! Lew had his face painted too! He enjoyed meeting his friends Daniel and Heather too who were dressed in their Christmas outfits!
We went to visit Lew's school which he will start in January. We are very very excited about this, although of course very nervous too!
We had a great day on Saturday, we went to Fundays for a party, and then Tobey and Callum came back to our house and we played on our Wii!
As always, we hope you enjoy the photographs!

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
