November

So November is almost over ... and its nearly time to put the Christmas decorations up!!! Just over 4 weeks until the big day! Lewis has been okay until just this last week when his seizures have increased hugely - Lewis normally has one or two seizures every few months, but with autumn and winter taking their toll and the additional bugs spreading around, he's had several a day for the past few days with temperature spikes, clamminess, increased twitching and lots of crying which, if you know Lew, is very unusual, so we know he's feeling rubbish, we just dont know how to make it better aside from lots of love and cuddles and calpol! So we're lucky enough to be able to spend a few nights in the Bluebell Wood Childrens Hospice which is where we are off to this afternoon. Lewis' friend from school, Matthew, is also going to the hospice this afternoon so we'll have some good company over the next few days along with Matthew's mum Debbie and Matthew's scrumptious baby brother Ethan! Lewis loves seeing Matthew and Ethan so it will help to cheer him up!

Thank you so much to Lewis' Postpals (http://www.postpals.co.uk/) for his super Horrid Henry blanket and also to Valerie and family for the postcards and the tiny bead fairy!

Yesterday I went to the Royal Mail to pick up a delivery for Lewis - WOW! Thank you to Katen and everybody at Love Quilts for putting together the fantastic patchwork quilt for Lewis! It is beautiful and Lewis and Samuel spent a long time looking at each of the squares and where they had come from - not only England, Scotland and Ireland but also Spain, Italy, Germany and USA! You can see on the photographs where each piece came from and if anyone is interested in contributing towards a quilt for poorly children like Lew, please do take a look at the Love Quilts website - http://www.lovequiltsuk.com/.
