How's Doug?

Everyone is asking how Doug is feeling? He is doing great considering everything that is going on with him. The nurses in the hospital told him they were going to get him a super man cape because he is so strong and his pain tolerance is incredible.  He had a morphine pump while in the hospital and he could push it every 10 minutes.  If you know Doug, he is such a light weight. He is nicknamed the 'cheap drunk.'  SO that first day he was pushing that pain pump every 10 minutes and that was a good time for everyone.  He caught on pretty quick that he didn't like feeling so doped up so he slowed it WAY down.  Every hour then every other hour until he  just wanted tylenol. The nurses were shocked that after such major surgery he could be so tough...   
So since he has been home he is up walking around, although a little slow and a little bent over.  He gets tired really easily and sleeps a lot. It is a little disheartening to see him so weak.  I am feeding him well, along with my family, so he can start gaining some weight.  He has about 25 lbs to pack on. I told him to eat a pint of 'Ben and Jerry's' ice cream every night.  He took me literally:)  His color is slowly coming back. He is still very anemic, which makes him white,  but a couple days ago he started getting some color in his face and even his hands have a little pink.  It is beautiful to see his color coming back.  His feet and legs still have no pigment but I think it will just take time!  The simple things we take for granted, ya know!
Ethan is loving having his daddy home. He just thinks it is a big party. He doesn't leave his side...ALL DAY LONG! and the babies don't understand why daddy can't hold them but sooner than later Doug will be back to running around with the kids and carrying then around the house!
