Journal entry by Colby Barak

I'm so sorry I have not updated you in a few days - but I was a little busy getting ready for Doug to come home, and he is home now!!  Spencer helped him get home this morning and I am making a nice, normal dinner for us now.
Doug will still be working with his physical and occupational therapists here at home, and we will have home nursing care if he needs it.  He worked so hard while in the rehab facility that his physical therapist said he was one of the fastest recoveries he had ever seen.  Doug will continue to work on his strength and endurance.  We had hoped to get to a Ryan Cousin reunion this month, but the doctor doesn't think that will be good for him - travel is a lot of work when you are in good shape, so we will stay here and catch up on our Yellowstone episodes.  We will continue to appreciate your prayers, but unless something major changes - we will log off of this Caring Bridge link.  Here is hoping it's a long time before we need anything like this again.  Love and thanks to you all for yoru support, love, prayers, and visits.
