KU appointment

Les went to KU this morning at 7:30 AM for a blood test, CT scan and appointment with Dr. Forrester. He had the blood test and CT scan and waited until 12:45 PM to see a doctor (not Dr. Forrester). I say all of that to tell you that everything looks good. The doctors are happy with his liver function and the blood tests are good.

However, his blood pressure is still VERY high (of course he had been waiting for 4 hours to see a doctor)and they are not happy with that. He has been taking medicine twice a day for high blood pressure and they prescribed him another one to add to the other two.

Dr. Forrester released him to go back to work, and go upstairs. He cannot lift anything heavy or do anything strenuous for the next two weeks.

Les will now make an appointment with Dr. Lee so see what the next step is. He is very tired, but glad that appointment is over.

God Bless you all!

Cancelled appointment

Les was suppose to have his follow-up appointment with Dr. Forrester (surgeon) yesterday, but it was cancelled due to Dr. Forrester performing a liver transplant. We are so thankful that this did not happen on the day of Les's surgery.

Les will go next Wednesday, November 6th, and have a blood test, CT scan and appointment with Dr. Forrester. This will start at 8:00 AM, with the final appointment at 10:00 AM.

Les was disappointed that the appointment was cancelled, because he was hoping to be released to do some things. He is feeling so good that he is getting anxious to be on the move more and have some limitations lifted.

We are trusting the Lord to handled everything, so we are trying to have patience.

Thank you for all of your cards and phone calls. It really helps. Please continue to pray, as we are sure there will be more chemo in the immediate future for Les.

God Bless you all! Linda
