Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers. I was able to talk to my husband and he is doing better. He is still in Germany and has undergone 2 surgeries and will need many more.....but he is alive!!!! God was watching out for him cause he had a piece of metal go through his left side and protrude out the right....it did not hit anything major and the dr said that if it would have been angled just slightly that he would have died. He is pretty cut up and will surgery on his eye probably from where the metal went in to it also and also some skin grafts later after he has healed. But THANK GOD he is alive and will be coming home when he recovers. The Army has been wonderful...keeping me informed and they are going to fly me to Walter in Washington DC when my husband is stable enough to fly. Hopefully that will be sometime this weekend or the early part of next week. I am drinking my fluids and taking my vitamins. I have only been getting 2 or 3 meals down a day (instead of 5-6) but I have started to drink atleast 2 protein drinks each day and am going to try to drink 3 today. My strength is still there so I think I am getting enough for now but I just need to get some sleep...good sound sleep which I know will come within a day or two. I did get about 6 hours of sleep last night but was tossing and turning. Again, thanks for your support and prayers. And thanks to everyone who has emailed me. I really appreciate it. This group is wonderful and has been such a blessing to me. (even tho I do not post often...I do read the posts) God Bless Shelley D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
