Back at Lakeside Hospital
Last night around 8pm, it was decided that Les should go to Lakeside ER for a fever he'd developed during the day. Once there, they did a blood test and his white blood cell count is extremely low...500. Normal is 4000 - 12,000. So, this means he has been highly susceptible to catching something, and unfortunately, he did. He was diagnosed with pneumonia in his left lung. This is also the lung where the large tumor resides. They are also culturing a urine sample as that looked like it had some bacteria as well. He is in room 4102, but we are not encouraging visitors at this time. Mom (and anyone visiting) will need to wear a sterile gown and mask while in his room. Please pray that the antibiotics work quickly and he is able to bounce back from this set back.

We are praying for you Les. May those antibiotics kick some butt.

We've been reading your blog but haven't written a comment for awhile. We, too, are praying that those counts go back up and for Les's strength to return. Thanks for this site, Nicole. Les, we're thinking of you and wishing and praying for something that tastes good so you can get out of that hospital!
