Leslie's "Very, Very Sick," Says Official
The Statesman has confirmed last week's sad news that Leslie Cochran, Austin's beloved cross-dressing celebrity, is in critical condition at Brackenridge.
One anonymous public health official affiliated with the hospital told the Statesman that Leslie is "very, very sick"—it's unclear at this point whether he will pull through, and if he does, he may suffer "life-altering effects" from his injuries.
Update: While it's not guaranteed that they'll reach him, Seton (of which University Medical Center Brackenridge is a member hospital) offers an online Get Well Card that you can send patients. Leslie's full name is Albert “Leslie” Cochran. [great idea via Livejournal]
