From Al’s Fastball:

Novi, MI

As many have heard, Doug had a stroke last Wednesday night. He is still in the hospital, but is walking around, pacing the halls and moving as much as the doctors will let him. Speech and handwriting are improving everyday. His personality is 100% Doug…he’s laughing at jokes, rolling his eyes, flailing his arms….all the mannerisms that he had before this happened.

The doctors have said that he is an excellent candidate for recovery based on his age, overall health, and willingness to work. When I talked to his wife tonight, she said that the doctors are looking at him going home on Wednesday.

Many, many thanks to all in our softball world who have called, or emailed, or asked about Doug….every little bit counts and it is all appreciated. Following is Doug’s address and a means
to reach him at the hospital.

Doug Gillis
43100 12 Oaks Crescent Dr, Apt 2044
Novi, MI 48377-3430

To send him a note at the hospital….
