Sat 31st Jan

This week has brought us Blood transfusions and hickman lines, Monday we started with Lewis going in to PB ward to have his line fitted. He was knocked out with gas which didn't agree with him. The next day he was zonked out.

Lewis has had the week off school as he's been very weak and shaky, his bloods have been dropping all week seeing his neutrophils dropping from 10.8 down to 0.18 in 5 days. Finally he popped out for a few pints on Friday night. (A blood transfusion)

Today we saw Lewis more stable, no shakes and moving around more. He is so much different today than yesterday. He even managed to shout at us and go off in a huff.

Chemo is still being given at home with daily visits for the nurse, he has this for another 2 weeks then he changes over to another cycle.

For all Lewis's friends at school, he should be coming into school this week all being well.

The sponsorship is going well and we are over £300 now, thank you to everyone who has given, and every one who has said they will, as soon as we get £500 I am shaving off my hair so if you would like to see that then get the cash in by clicking on the widget.
