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,

Good God.

Either I've lived a sheltered life, or I'm at an age where I was never close up to war. During Vietnam I was a little kid and young teenager and didn't pay attention to those things, was just unaware of them.

Since reading about your nephew from when you first reported his being hit by the bomb under his vehicle, and reading the graphic accounts of his wounds, it's made me think of this whole situation in general, I've been praying for all the wounded people in the Walter Reed hospital, and wondering how they endure all of the suffering. Also their parents and other relatives must be besides themselves, and there are so many of them.

How does a person cope with having parts of their bodies removed, horrible burns, colostomy bags and raging infections? It sounds like hell to me, or what I would imagine hell to be like.

It's made me feel very fortunate that I've never encountered such a thing in my life, and have never known anyone who has. At the same time it makes me realize this sort of thing could happen to any of us, we have no idea what the future holds, it's a wake up call to be sure.

I hope they are giving him plenty of morphine and sedatives.

Read Johnny Got his Gun by Dalton Trumbo

That is if you haven't already. It is an older book, but it's message is timeless.

Mike,

Although your sensitivity is well known I'm not sure that this is the right time to reference this most disturbing book and film.

Perhaps because the plot is my worst nightmare, and I live clean and am honest in all my dealings just so our creator will take notice and hopefully never allow this to happen to me.

The thought of anyone suffering that way makes me want to weep and scream. And, I don't have a loved one undergoing a medical ordeal.

To those who are inclined to make anti war statements here, I ask for your compassion for those who are beyond that now.

You make a good point. Just recently Ferret posted that when he sees a wounded/maimed veteran, he thanks them for their service to our country, and I replied to him that it's what I say also. Nothing more.
