Friday 6th Feb




Today will be known as official hair loss day

After a week off chemo Lewis has found his strength to go back to school, today he managed to spend the whole day in school and enjoyed doing art this afternoon. He has been using the Pimped wheel chair to get around as this helps him to keep his energy. He is more stable and more like a child than a 90 year old man.

Blood counts done on Tuesday

Hg. 72
White 0.2
Nu. 0.04
Plt. 34

Down on the last one, next count is on Sunday to see if he can get back on the chemo.

Lewis managed to play a bit in the snow, see photos.

All week we have noticed his hair starting to come out in bigger clumps so he decided to take the plunge and have it shaved, its less mess and looks neater. In a week or two it will all be gone anyway.

I still have £140 to raise before I shave off my hair, thanks to all that have donated already, please if you are or want to donate and dint know how please email us or ask.

i will put up an email address later today for Lewis to receive your emails.

  1. Looking Good Lewis Loving the snow man. Great to hear that you managed some schoolthis week, I know it's a bit different for Mia because she is only 3 and at nursery but she copes better with the poorly days if she has managed a day a school in between! It's good to be normal too (I think) XXXX The new hair do looks good on you,not so sure what it'll look like on Dad though... come on Mark get that picture on here! Maybe see you Tues, Take care XX
