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.

A World War I-era American soldier in a hospital realizes that he was hit by an artillery shell and lost his arms, legs, ears, eyes and most of his face. The remaining torso and head is being kept alive by machines. Using his head to tap out morse code, he asks someone to help him leave the hospital or die. Neither of his wishes are granted.

What gets me is the recruiters go to high schools and get the guys all hyped up to join. I know young guys tend to think they are immortal, that nothing bad can happen to them, they must think that because who would want to take a chance ending up with half their body blown away? I just don't get it. I suppose the recruiters don't focus much on that possibility when trying to get them to enlist, makes me curious as to what they tell them, how they sell to them joining the military to go into combat.

I was listening to Bush's comments about amnesty for the illegal Mexicans yesterday and couldn't help thinking that he sounded desparate in his threats towards those opposed to his plan. He needs troops and Americans are disenchanted.

Poor Mexicans will become the cannon fodder when he runs out of Americans.

Last I saw, the Bush clan was quite large, with lots of younger nieces and nephews and such. So, how many young Bush's and Cheney's are going to fight in this war? Hmmmm, let me guess.....

The ChickenHawks and all their little chicks are all despicable. The Brits are smarter, they dressed up Harry like he was going to Iraq (hoorah), then there was a flurry of articles about how he was already a target and he would endanger his whole unit.
