I am preparing to get ready to head up to the hospital here to see Doug shortly but I thought I would do a post before I leave the house since I have some news.
I called Doug and he announced that he farted. This is good news. It means that his bowels are finally starting to function.
Dr. G, his chemo doctor also paid him a visit this morning and it turns out that they had removed two spots from the liver to be biopsied rather than one spot as I had originally assumed.
One spot was benign and the other contained the same type of cancer cells that were in the tumor from the colon....again good news.
He has a tube back down his throat to alleviate the nausea but it certainly sounds like things are starting to move.

Hi Marjorie. I'm Monica, Doug's old friend from high school. Thank you so much for keeping us updated this way. I signed on tonight wondering if (and hoping that) Doug was feeling well enough to be blogging from a laptop computer at the hospital, but it was almost as good to get your side of things.
I don't know if Doug had the chance to mention this to you, but if at any time you need a break and would like me to help out with Kyle (or anything for that matter), please just ask. I will email my phone number to you. I'm a stay-home mom, so it's hard for me to get to the hospital to see Doug, but I'd love to help, and all you need to do is tell me when. I have a 4.5-year-old at home and a 12-year-old in school, but I'm flexible.
Give Doug my best, please.
Thank you.
