update

Hi, sorry been too busy to update but hear goes.

Last Monday Lewis had his bloods done, these were not too bad. He had some mouth ulcers and other sores from the chemo. The doctors gave him some thing to treat these. The have been going away slowly but not enough.

Wednesday Lewis went back in hospital as the doctor was not happy with his drinking, he's not having enough. They stopped one of his chemo that we give him at home and done more blood tests. Thursday bloods done again and this time docs were happy with him.

Friday bloods done first thing and a trip to Charlies day ward Basingstoke hospital for a blood transfusion. So much for a week out of hospital.

The weekend Lewis had some life in him as the new bloods kicked in, he has started to eat well and things were looking good for a week in from today.

We left home at 9am heading off to Southampton to Piam Brown ward for a week of intesive chemo. After a check up and as he still has a few ulcers we was sent home.

So this week Lewis is out of hospital, lets hope we get in next week to get this week in week out finished as it seems to be week in two weeks out and a few days in hear and there.

Any way Lewis is feeling good in himself and eating and drinking well.

Saturday 11th April

Bit of a boring week not much going on for us, lewis has been sick most mornings but only lasting for an hour or two.

Tomorrow we have Ben and Kelly, Jamie and Heather all coming for dinner and a walk with the dogs. Lewis has made crackle cakes and mums made her chocolate cake.

The nurse is booked in for Monday morning to take Lewis's bloods ready to go in again for a week in Piam Brown ward.

I will post everyday with the updates from the hospital

Tuesday 7th April

Last night was a long one, mum and Lewis up all night being sick, This morning he continued to be sick so I called the hospital. Just as we thought yesterday a trip to hospital was booked.

Lewis was given a can of Red Bull through his line (Fluids) and some anti sickness, that worked wonders and within an hour or so he was full of life.

He just needs time to catch up on sleep now.

Monday 6th April

Well after a good week at school lewis is ready for a few weeks off from school.

He has been well all week as long as he has his anti sickness. He is on chemo at home for the next 8 weeks with the week in week out routeine.

As normal things are not always what they seem with a phone call today asking why we never turned up for our week in, Last week we was told not to come in and we will be in Bank holiday Monday. Anyway we agreed to make our way in to hospital for the week until I checked the due to the drugs he is on we are unable to come in, so all change again, we are in next week as was.

Lewis is feeling sick tonight so we may be in hospital anyway tomorrow.

This week our rabbit Lucy broke her leg so we had to take her to the vet. We now must have the worlds biggest three legged rabit.

I will update tomorrow with Lewis's sickness update.
