Update from Leeanne Lewis

Doug was doing pretty well the last couple of months. Until I just received this update from Leeanne, he is having complications again...
To All:
Once again I'm sorry for the impersonal nature of email but with so many friends and family who care about Doug and the short period of time I have to contact everyone, here goes. Doug was hospitalized today (5/4) because of extremely high fevers (104.3). The doctors have already tested him 7 ways from Sunday to uncover the problem. Nothing conclusive, however, they believe it is the catheter in his chest that is causing the problem. We've been told that is quite common. Doug is already receiving antibiotics for a bacterial infection and has had a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. He'll be receiving some much needed transfusions tomorrow too. Doug is in Brick Hospital, room 474 but please don't call him (yet). He isn't up to talking or receiving visitors. Hopefully he'll be home by the weekend (wishful thinking?), at least he says that's when he's coming home. We'll see. You know Doug is NEVER wrong!!! Mistaken maybe, but never WRONG. As always, please remember Doug in your prayers. It's still an uphill battle and the war isn't over yet. We sincerely appreciate all your concern and well wishes. I'll keep you posted as I learn more.

Thank you and good night.

Leeanne
