    Default Great News On My Son!


    Okay everyone we finally got some great news. Randy had the shots of radiation stuff and the some kind of MRI last week to show one way or the other on that Oesteomylitis stuff that came up not that long ago. Well as of this morning when they called me he has no signs of any of it and is now finally going to get fitted for a leg and start his rehab.

    After over 2 years things are headed in a better way and now of with the rest of his life.

    He (in case I had not told you) also had a wonderful time last weekend as he was given tickets to the Super Bowl and tickets to the day before when he and his son got to go shoot sporting clays with the old NFL stars. It was very nice of who ever gave him that and he really appreciated it. He and his wife got to go to the football game.

    So wonderful news today!!!! SO Prayers do work and thank you one and all that supported us and prayed all this way.

    Skip
    Below are a few picks from along the way.

    He got his Purple Heart from the Sec. Of the Army. This was really early on like just a few weeks after the IED got him.


    Then a pic with all of us in the room and I think this was the first time they let us in without a mask. Pretty sure the mask came back after this pic, LOL!


    Here is when Big & Rich came by his room that first year.


    Skip a couple of year ahead...Here he and wife are at the Super Bowl with one of the guys that also got to go. I already as why it is so small, LOL!

    Great news Skip. Tell your Hero Son that we are still praying for him and thank him for his bravery.

    That is great news Skip. I pray that everything goes well from here on.

    I hope you and your son realize how much we all appreciate the sacrifice he has made for all Americans. It is a rare person that has his dedication to help so many people that he does not even know. Again please give him my thanks for all he has done.
    To make life enjoyable, you must have crappie days.

    Thanks guys and he actually got to try a leg before the last re cut and did fine. He will end up with several legs, one for just walking around, one for swimming and one for running and one for combat since he will most likely re-join a unit. I can't even talk about that part though.

    It's hard when you are so proud of your kid (man kid, LOL) and can't tell all you want to, you know?
