PRECIOUS LEON

Picture
 Leon's back in the hospital once again.   Had a temperature on Thursday of 102 and I ran him to PenBay about 3 miles from the house.   We stopped at the ER and they hooked him up.   Nothing hurt but kept breathing heavily.    The next day he was put into a regular hospital room, having one miserable time.   Consistently having to visit the bathroom and still a whole lot of breathing. The doctor came in immediately, sending him to the Intensive Care Ward as he had  pneumonia in both lungs.    There he was being watched by the pros.   Michelle and I were in the waiting room til we were allowed to check in on him.    
Found a different man indeed.   I got this photo of him because he looks far better than earlier.   The TV was on.   The computer in his lap.   And a few squirts of Visine made life more visible.    They are pumping him with all kinds of medicine.    All I can say is here you find of happy man, feeling better and so glad he's getting the treatment that's helping him.   I must tell you I thought his life was ready to leave this world but...very, very grateful that did not happen.
