It is always, always the roughest on the kids - they just don't understand how a parent can be there one minute and tragedy strike the next - I don't wish that on anyone! I will be saying extra prayers for her tonight and will pass the update on to my sister. I will be off and on tonight and throughout the week-end so I'll be checking for further word.

God bless you and your family at this difficult time in your lives! May His love see you through whatever may come and may His will be done. Much love!
Thank you so much Suzi..he also has a daughter with his wife..Michelle is 9 (I think) It was a battle for Doug to get custody for Angelica...he finally did and now this...It's just so sad. It is difficult for adults to understand why things like this happen...I can't even begin to imagine what his children are going through..They did all sorts of tests on him yesterday. I'm sure they did and EEG...The also did a CT scan to see if a recent surgery might have caused the blood clot.My mom spoke with my Uncle this afternoon and he was so broken up that my Mom didn't ask any questions. I do know that he is NOT on lift support....yet..Doug had major heart surgery last year. They had to replace one of the valves in his heart. Although the surgery was a success he recently started to feel ill...headaches, pain in his back, very very tired and pain in his arm (not sure is left or right). But like most of us we just brush it off as a pulled muscle or just a headache..
I guess you never know when God is going to call on you...

Thank you Suzi

Love, Brenda
