What a wonderful tribute to Douglas. I wonder if he'll be able to enjoy any of it. Is he home yet?
I agree. I wish we could be there as well.

I just don't understand youth of today, thinking that something like this is fun and acceptable. A mans life & livelihood has been taken right out from under him. And for what?? I don't get it. I just don't get it!!

P Lease keep us updated on Douglas, Blue.

bb, he got home the weekend of Easter & has been out & about. He's healthy & is the kind of person to push & not let this hold him back. Scroll down to see pics on the FB acct., if you can. If not, I'm sure there'll be pics up after the weekend on the other site.

Boy Howdie bb! I think I have a few more of those weeks coming yet!

[bayoubabe]

I really hope you don't. Really hope you don't. It's been hell.

The only good part was my car. Everything going dowm at once.

Douglas has had a set-back, please keep him in your prayers!

"Another hurdle to jump! Doug will be having surgery AGAIN today at West Jeff due to more swelling from infection. Please pray feverishly for Devine wisdom, direction & guidance for the doctors & the medical staff!"

[bayoubabe]

Dang it. Prayers & more prayers being sent to Douglas. That poor guy. He doesn't deserve any of this.

Douglas is doing better. Some pics were posted of him & others next to Lake Ponchitrain. I think they were caroling or something.
