karen335 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Just to let everyone know Leslie is in the hospital. It is Sterling Hospital or Medical Ctr. Sterling Colorado. She is not doing too well, she is paralized on one side and doctors haven't given Mark(her husband) very much information. He said they have her on morphine. If you can offer any info. to help him. I am sure he would be very appreciative (Like experiences with Decadron, morphine, or WBR he needs to advocate as much as possible for her.)Knowledge is power as we all know. Thanks all, Karen Sending prayers Quote
kamataca Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Oh my! I was devastated to hear this! I know that Leslie is a tough cookie, and Mark is a wonderful support to her. PLEASE keep us updated. She's in my prayers, of course. Kelly Quote
melindasue37 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 This post came as a big surprise. Forgive me if I happened to miss a post from Leslie. My thoughts and prayers are with both of them right now. Quote
hollyanne Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Is there a way to get in touch with Mark to offer support? I was shocked when I read this. She will certainly be in my prayers. Thanks. Quote
karen335 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 You can send him an e-mail or PM through Leslie221 or even MarkG. He is really good about replying. He really needs some support from us here. Anything we can do, like research or what ever would be a great help. Thank You, Karen Quote
cindi o'h Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 with decadron watch for psychosis.. paranoid thinking, delusions etc. Doggonit anyway, Mark and Leslie. Please get well soon. love, Cindi o'h Quote
J.C. Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Mark posted under LC survivors. Checking for him with my friend that had WBR, she just finished and was also paralized, now she is doing kind of well, but has trouble with mets to all bones. See you later. xoxo Jackie Quote
Ry Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Oh no...I am so sorry to read this. Leslie is such a sweetheart. I hope we know something soon. Quote
nikkala Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Just saying lots of prayers for Leslie. Hoping they can get this worked out and get her well and home. Quote
J.C. Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Just PM Mark with some details, will keep praying for Leslie. Jackie Quote
gail p-m Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm really shocked to read this and have little knowledge of offer. I will keep Leslie and Mark in my prayers. gail p-m Quote
cindi o'h Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Remember Mark, that if anything doesn't sit right with you and the person that you are dealing with is non-responsive, be it doctor, nurse, PT, aide, whatever... if you cannot get something resolved to your satisfaction, Ask for FLOOR MANAGER. When you speak these two words, the f/m has 5" to respond... hospital rules as far as I know. When I was last hospitalized, I should have remembered this, but I forgot. I was fighting with the pulm. rehab. over whether or not the mouthpiece she dropped on floor was clean enough to put in my mouth...I was in somewhat shock and let her get by with dirty technique. Good luck, Mark. Cindi o'h Quote
MilliBr1 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm so sorry to hear this. Leslie and Mark you are in my prayers. Quote

tnmynatt Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Praying for Leslie and Mark. Praying for total healing for her and strength and comfort for them both. Don't know anything to be able to help with advice. I like the Floor Manager approach if needed. Take care. Quote
shineladysue Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I am so sorry to hear this about Leslie. I don't have any experience or info to help, but I will surely keep Mark and Leslie in my prayers. Love, Sue Quote
dadstimeon Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Very sorry to hear that--prayers for her. Quote

Kasey Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 So VERY sorry to hear this about Leslie. I have no info to really help them, but can offer lots of prayers. Hope to her some better news shortly. Kasey Quote
Sheri Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Here's hoping Leslie's condition is temporary. She's such a great contributor to this board. I don't have any experience with her symptoms, but from what I've read, others have bounced back. Prayers for Leslie and Mark. Hang in there guys! Quote
ginnyde Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I was genuinely concerned when we started hearing from Mark and not Leslie, so I am not startled by this news, saddened, but not startled. Please let Leslie know that we are all praying that she bounces back quickly. Remind her she threw the 3 coins in the Trevi Fountain. Quote
Kaffie Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm very sorry to hear this, Leslie is such a wonderful person. Praying for good news, soon Kathy Quote
Treebywater Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 ((((Mark))))) ((((Leslie))))) We love you and many prayers are being said! Quote
carolhg Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I am so sorry to hear this. Because Leslie went to get checked for her headaches she found out that she had brain mets and was just horrified. Nonetheless she immediately started the fight to win against this horrible disease. Because of Leslie I requested a brain scan which came out okay. I pray that this is just a temporary set back for Leslie and that she will continue to fight this awful disease. My prayers are with you Leslie. I HATE THIS DISEASE!!! Quote
francesbean Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Oh gosh... Praying so hard for Leslie. She's such a sweetheart and she has been of so much help to me. Hang in there, Mark. I hope you get answers soon. Praying for recovery.... Quote
