karen335 Posted January 16, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted January 16, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melindasue37 Posted January 16, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyanne Posted January 16, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted January 17, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheri Posted January 17, 2006 Share 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!

ginnyde Posted January 17, 2006 Share 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.

carolhg Posted January 17, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francesbean Posted January 17, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
