I just received a call from my mother-in-law telling me my brother-in-law in Afghanistan has been hurt and is being air lifted to Germany for medical attention. Evidently a land mine exploded on his left side, the man beside him didn't make it. He has lost the vision in his left eye. I'm not sure about the shrapnel that hit his face and the left side of his body. She was kind of hard to understand. He was able to talk to his wife this morning so at least we know he is alive, Thank God. Deanna :'(
Oh, Deanna, my thoughts are with your family. May his injuries heal quickly and completely with very few after effects.
God bless your family as you all try to get through this difficult time. I pray your brother-in-law pulls though this. I'm very sorry to hear of his comrads' passing. Hang in there - Kim
Sorry to hear this Deanna. Hoping for the best for your brother-in-law. I'd imagine he's also quite upset for the man whose life was lost. // frank
Deanna my thoughts are with your BIL and I sincerely hope he makes a full recovery - both physically and mentally - after his terrible ordeal.
Deanna, I'm so sorry for your BIL and your family. My thoughts are with you, and I hope he will have a speedy recovery. Please keep us updated on his progress.
Ohh Deanna i'm so sorry to hear such news. I will say prays for his spiritual, mental and physical healing. I'm sorry to hear of his buddy passing. Stay strong and we are here for you. Please keep us updated. (this is my nightmare for my son, i'm sorry it has happened to you) Please let your sister and mother know we are thinking of them also. Stay strong.
Such awful news Deanna. We are thinking of you at this time and hope that he quickly heals once safe in Germany.
So very sorry to hear this news, Deanna. I wish you and your family strength during this ordeal. It's just terrible. I hope that he will soon be home and had a good recovery. While you are hanging in there, just know that you have lots and lots of support here on the Stew.
That really is bad news, Deanna. We'll pray for you and your inlaws. It's such a tragedy that things like this have to go on. Let's pray that mankind outgrows it's need for war, and we can live in peace.
Please keep us updated. our thoughts are with you and your family. I've heard that hospital in germany is a good one.
Deanna I'm so sorry to hear about you BIL.I do wish him a speedy recovery and my prayers are with him .I pray for his buddy's family too.
Thank You everyone! I still don't know a whole lot. I'm hoping to learn more today. Thankfully it sounds like his injuries are not life threatening. Hopefully the German hospital can restore the sight in his left eye. I just want him to come home and I want this war to be over. Thank you again for all the kind thoughts and prayers. Deanna and family :-D
