Please add my neighbors' (the ones who fed the outdoor cats while we were gone) grandson to your list of prayer or meditation or whatever.
He has been in Iraq for the last 2 months. Last week his patrol was ambushed. A round came in underneath his armored jacket, ricocheted off his spine, tumbled through several organs, and exited near his collarbone. The exit wound was apparently larger than a baseball. The round disintegrated as it tumbled, so they have been picking bits of it out of him.
Amazingly, he is still alive. He was evac'd to Germany and now is in Walter Reed. He's stable, has at least one more surgery needed, but should recover, they say.
We're hoping for his healing. And that he doesn't have to go back to Iraq after rehab.
