Adam just got out of surgery and things were not as good as we had hoped. The skin grafts were not healing on his buttocks and turns out he took a nasty piece of shrapnal through the right butt cheek and it left a tube of a wound which is not healing. The surgeon took pretty much all of his right butt cheek off but did not have to go to bone. Adam will have to have a colostomy bag put in place on Thursday but only as a way to prevent contamination to the wound. The surgeon thinks he will only need it 6-12 months. Hopefully this will help him conquer the fever. Tomorrow we will find out how the arm burns are doing but right now not much hope for saving his fingers. The good news, the lower back and all the head skin grafts are doing well. I am glad to have you all as my family, it gives me strength to share our burden with you all.

Love you all,

oh I am so sorry - I will pray and concentrate on the positive. I really don't know what else to say.

The Lost Children

by Gordon Lightfoot

Down the hall their voices ring, their feet are on the run
Phantoms on the winter sky, together they do come
Faded lips and eyes of blue they're carried in the wind
Their laughter filled the countryside but they'll not laugh again

All the games are ended now, their voices have been stilled
Their fathers built the tools of war by which they all were killed
Their fathers made the uniforms showing which side they were on
And the young boys wear the middle name for guns to pray upon

You've seen the fires in the night, watched the devil as he smiles
You've heard a mother's mournful cry as she searches for her child
You've seen the lines of refugees, the faces of despair
And wondered at the wise men who never seem to care

Goodbye you lost children, God speed you on your way
Your little beds are empty now, your toys are put away
Your mother sings a lullaby as she gazes at the floor
Your father builds more weapons and marches out once more

Down the hall their voices ring, their feet are on the run
Phantoms on the winter sky, together they do come
Faded lips and eyes of blue they're carried in the wind
Their laughter filled the countryside but they'll not laugh again

This is a song that Gordon Lightfoot wrote that comes to mind when I think of the unnessesary horrors and sheer waste of wars.

My thoughts and best hopes and wishes for his best and fastest recovery. I work doing anti-recruiting in schools, something us veterans can do well; cut through the bullshit Military recruiters feed these kids.

Next kid I talk into forgetting a commitment or plan to go into the military I'll think of your nephew when that happens.

It's a sad thing that we have to save our kid's lives by talking them out of going for the upward social mobility and pay and benefit advantages of military life. That they go that route out of sheer bordom in a land where adventure and enjoyment have been legislated out of existance. A place of service and other menial jobs and high rents and other costs to escape from, that's the downer of anti-recruiting; you know that which ever option kids take, service or civilian life, both have bleak, dangerous aspects to them.

It is a damn shame we have a government intent on imperial aquisition of oil no matter how many kids they kill or maim to do this. Conversely, it is also a damn shame that they care so little about quality of life and oppertunity in this country unless you are rich.

I want to see these guys on trial and in prison for their war crimes. Sorry for the rant, but this sort of thing really pulls my chain. I really hope he recovers fast and intact.

Even more, I hope this country and allof us recover from this horrible and bloody ordeal these neocons have dragged us through.

I pray that Adam will do as well as can be done in this bad situation. Be strong for him.
