She wished I would share it with you all. I copied it word for word here for all to read. It broke my heart. Phil Bader June 2, 2005 5:00 AM Dear Phil, I am sending this letter to you and if you can, please scan it and send it out to everyone. I have been shocked at the outpouring of love and care that all of you have shown. It is not possible for me to express my gratitude with words.I would love to send you all a great thank you for your prayers and donations and calls. God is my provider and has blessed me and Doug with such wonderful blessings through all of your hands. 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 arm was twisted around by the blade and his arm broken in several places. His entire right side of his body was severly bruised and his 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 ha! s been hemoraghing through his nose and anywhere else blood c an 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 to be with Doug around the clock. I have been home twice/three times for 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 o! ne 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.
