I'm continuing to pray for Lamont. He's a strong guy and whatever happens, I'm sure he'll bear it with grace and peace. May God grant him many years with us.

Thinking of you guys every day. Hoping for the best! Rest up, think positive, and know you do have friends. Focus on being well. Everything else becomes secondary.
Best Wishes for your family! How are you holding up Joan?
This is Joan and a brief update:
Lamont will be discharged from the hospital in the morning. Although he just had a brief episode where his blood pressure got very seriously high and it looks like it's going the right way now. I took him in Monday of this week and he spent 28 uncomfortable hours in the ER because the hospital didn't have available beds. It's far too much to type but by Wednesday he was looking worse than when I had taken him in. They did a procedure on him and pulled fluids from his abdomen area and sent some for cytology and culture. The fluid was infected and he was probably sick with this the entire previous week when he was in the hospital. They put him on clear liquid diet again, ordered more IV antibiotics, and he was even on oxygen for a short period when his O2 levels dropped during the night. He had a new hospitalist this time who actually seemed interested in his case and she ordered a GI doctor for her expertise and finally things are making sense. There's too much to type but the bottom line is this - Lamont will be discharged Saturday morning and I will take him home where he can rest without nurses and aides waking him up every 1/2 hour or so for vitals. From there he rests up and regains his strength so we can drive to St. Louis on Tuesday for his evaluation with the transplant team at Barnes Jewish Hospital on Wednesday. He's been sick ever since September 21st and really hasn't eaten much or kept it down since then. Please continue to keep him in your prayers, good wishes, whatever your belief system. My good friend, Tina, came up to stay over two nights to help me out and make sure I was getting my rest and eating.
I thank you all for your love and support during this hard time for us. Thanks also for no reported posts to keep my other job easy in trying to take care of the business until our beloved Lamonster is back! :)

Traded my Lamonster Edition RTL to a Shrine brother for 2011 Harley Shrine Trike a few months ago planning on getting a 2019 RTL but bought a 2018 RTL yesterday to be delivered next week. I will be getting stuff from Lamonster whenever possible. Prayers for all of you!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have not been on here for a while, so was not sure what was happening with Lamont. All the prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery, always heartbreaking to se a fellow rider down, NO MATTER WHAT the problem may be.
Haven't been around on the site much this summer/fall---just caught this thread.
Very pleased to hear of Lamont's improved condition, and best wishes for a continued speedy and full recovery! I am very sorry to hear you (all of you) had to go through so much BS at times with the treatment regime, and those making less than good decisions! Sounds like you're past most of that now--here's hoping that remains the case! Sounds like all of you are maintaining as positive an attitude as you can--and that is certainly part of the recipe for recovery---so give the bad times a good whuppin' and we'll be here when you do!
Kindest Regards...............Flanker
