Papaw Douglas' 80th Birthday

 Earlier this year, Papaw Vincent suffered a severe stroke.  He was life flighted to Louisville for some experimental treatment to break up the clot and the outlook was pretty grim.  The treatment worked, praise the Lord, and Papaw has seen great improvement!  He has since returned home, receives therapy through a home health service, and is able to get around his house by himself!  He still suffers from some confusion at times, and his speech is often difficult to understand - but these things are mild when considering the primary prognosis.  We're thankful that he is still here with us, and that he was able to celebrate his 80th birthday this fall!

The family line.  What a crazy bunch....
