Yes, Doug is still alive (even tho no blogging since Tuesday=)). He has to keep reminding himself that recovery time is going to be 3 to 6 months. Patience, patience... Still battling the effects of the drug eruption rash - it is slowly going away. Nights are still a challenge but days are getting better. Doug drove yesterday for the first time since Nov. 24th!! We took a trip up to see Dave & Keri and then to see more Christmas lights. He wasn't real confident in getting driving privileges back due to all the Benadryl and other things going on but he did great. Nick is always watching out for him - making sure Doug has his heart pillow, inspirometer, and water no matter where he is. We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed being with your families.
