>> The hardest part of all of this has been watching Doug suffer with
>>pain beyond explaination.
>> Doug is or has been heavily medicated for the pain, and the stress
>>on his heart. As most of you know, Doug has recieved 5 open heart
>>surgeries during his life, and has an artificial heart valve. During the
>>accident Doug's right hand was severed almost all the way off. His right

>>ribs cut open. His right eye was saved by his glasses, but due to the
>>blow to it was swollen shut for over a week.He recieved a lasceration
>>above that eye that took 6 days to stop the blood flow. He is covered in
>>cuts and bruises and his body is still suffering a lot of trauma. As I
>>write this, his entire body is swollen to the point he looks as though
>>he weighs an additional 100 pounds heavier. He has been hemoraghing
>>through his nose and anywhere else blood can escape, including his
>>kidneys. But he is fighting to stay with us, and God has given him
>>unbelievable strength as well as myself.
>> My daughter was on the floor beneath him for almost another week. I
>>had just brought her home from intensive care when this happened to
>>Doug. Because of the trauma, she experienced when Doug was injured "she
>>saw him when this happened", she was readmitted and was released on
>>5/31/05.
>> My 18 year old has become her sister's "Mom" for now, because I need

>>a few hours and directly back. I have a folding chair in his room, so I
>>have been able to dose and nap.
>> Doug has a long recovery ahead and he is more worried about how he
>>will make it now. But God has never let me down.
>> With all this going on, my car has quit and has a cracked head so I
>>have one friend who has taken me back and forth. I don't know how I will
>>get Doug to and from the doc's when he is released, but I am trusting
>>God to take care of it.
>> My appreciation and love to all of you, and I will continue to keep
>>Jay posted.
>> Forever Grateful,
