I just spoke to Douglas Paul's son. Douglas is back in the hospital. Brett, the son, said there were indications that it go could either way. We'll pray it goes in his favor. Douglas has been a good friend to many on FS.

August 23, 2019 at 2:23PM
    sandramitchell: Oh, No, not Douglas as well! I'll keep him in my prayers. What a sad day this has turned out to be. He was a great friend and I've missed him loads. If you hear more, let us know, want you? Thanks for passing this on. Yvonne. xxx

    davisr (Rhonda): Oh my! My prayers are with both families, and these on the heels of losing Mikey a few months ago.
    August 23, 2019 at 5:40PM
    damommy: It's been a bad year for losing friends. Still, Douglas may rally. I wouldn't be surprised if he does. His great attitude has carried him far past what the doctors predicted. If I hear more, I'll certainly share it.
