Sharon Bacon sent us the following yesterday:

"Wayne is in Wesley Hospital. He went in on Tuesday morning with a high fever. They think he has pneumonia in one lung, also a bad urinary tract infection. He was doing better today. They started him on high powered IV antibiotics, but had to change to oral medication today, as he kept pulling out the IV's. He says he does not remember pulling them out. He has never done that before. We are waiting on the urologist to give us his opinion and or treatment. Hopefully Wayne will be going back to the nursing facility soon."

We are all pulling for Wayne to overcome this latest challenge. Thank you Sharon for keeping us informed.

Sharon sent a nice note with details of Wayne's move to another room in the same facility. He likes to have people drop by too. And for Sharon's words... Read More...

Thanks for Paula Pearson for this latest news: Last week Wayne was supposed to go home, however, a trial run did not prove successful. He is still at Lakepoint while Sharon decides what to do next. Sharon said he is content there for the time being, but assumes it is short term, which may or may not be the case. Marion and Rich visited him recently, and found him in pretty good spirits. More details as we get them.

From Juanita: "Wayne is improving, but slowly. The MS disease is his biggest enemy. He's in the Lake Point Nursing and Rehab Center located right off of 13th Street on West Street, Room 907. The address is 1315 North West Street, 67203. He does not have a telephone. We do not know when or if he will go home. Lou and Sharon are taking turns staying with him in the afternoons."

As most of us know Wayne fractured his hip on July 12 and has had surgery to put in a steel rod. Recovery has been slow with a few complications. He has now been moved to rehab and plans are to transfer him to a skilled nursing facility. We all wish him a quick recovery!
