He's had better days...

Yesterday, when I asked Les how he was feeling, he said he's had better days. His voice is very weak and he continues to sleep through much of the day and night. He did take some pain meds for some backbone pain late last night.

The last couple nights he's had a chicken strip from Dairy Cone and that seems to taste okay. Vanilla ice cream and a chocolate elcaire are some other foods that seem to work for him. No surprise on the eclaire, right?

His regular weekly blood draw yesterday indicated his white blood cell count was within normal range, but they do expect it to drop in the upcoming days. June 10th's appointments (CAT and MRI) will start at 2:45 and last until about 7pm. Results should either come that day or the day after.

Thanks for keeping Les and our family in your thoughts and prayers!

  1. Thank you so much for keeping everyone posted on Les' condition. I used to speak with him frequently on the telephone when Madison's and Great Plains were one. We'll continuing praying for the whole family. Linda

  3. Well I am glad to hear that he still has a taste for those HEART healthy foods. Sorry to hear he has had better days, I am sure that some of those were out on the golf course. Keep waiting for a time that is good to visit with him, but don't want to stop in if he isn't upto it. Let us know if there is anything we can do for him or any of you, Hugs, Prayers, and lots of Well Wishes, The Reisen's Rod, Cheryl & Family
