Update on Doug: Bonnie (http://www.xanga.com/blb) talked to Doug's wife Heather yesterday, then called me to give me the scoop on our dear Denver Doug. Bonnie was also kind enough to answer some questions for me, because I was missing a bit of information. Here is what I gathered from that conversation: Doug's tumor (size unknown at this point) is cancerous, possibly Stage 4. It is terminal, although we do not have a timeframe. He begins six weeks of radiation on Wednesday, February 6 to shrink the size of the tumor in an effort to alleviate the pain from it pressing on his spinal column. Kaizer/Hospice is involved in coordinating doctors appointments and meds for Doug. When I spoke to Bonnie, she mentioned that Doug was resting, and had been for a couple of hours. Pointing out that the new pain meds must be working. Doug's wife, Heather, commented to Bonnie that they seem to have a good support system -- their daughter lives close by -- and mentioned that the cards Doug has received have really cheered him. Let's keep the cards and letters headed their way. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, maybe we could send him some silly Valentines. If you don't have Doug's address, you can email me (kelli3 at gmail dot com) and I'll pass it on to you if you're interested. I'm not thrilled by the news Bonnie offered (although I am so very happy that she was able to offer it), but I am hopeful that our dear "family member" is somewhat comfortable, and surrounded by people who care for him and love him. I had hoped to be able to post this on Doug's site. I thought I had Doug's journal site password, but it must be old information. If/when I am able to get that information, I will post updates directly on the site.

Kelli and Bonnie, thanks so much for the update. I've been checking in here every evening to see if there is news. This is just the pits, I'm sorry to hear that Our Doug is having to go thru this latest trauma. I'll hope and pray that the treatments will help him and that the pain meds will let him rest easy. Doug and Heather, when you read this, just know that you have a lot of friends pulling for you and sending you the best of hope, hugs, and good wishes.
