If all goes as planned, State Representative Trent LeDoux will be back in the Kansas Statehouse when his fellow lawmakers return from spring break.
That follows his extended hospital stay, first in Topeka for a month, and now at the University of Kansas Medical Center, where he has been a patient for just over a week.

LeDoux says, despite his long hospital stay, he's been watching the action-or lack thereof, as he puts it-of the Kansas Legislature(Play Audio :16 seconds)

LeDoux says if any constituent has any question for him, he encourages them to call the Medical Center to talk to him.
LeDoux, who was appointed to the 50th House District seat, is challenged in his bid for election by two fellow Republicans, Holton businessman Dan Brenner and Soldier physician Doctor David Allen.
