New Update on my Son

**skiptomylu** · 12-25-2006, 09:59 AM

First I want to thank each and everyone here and we so much appreciate your prayers and well wishes!

Update on my son Randy,

Well last night he finally got out of Iraq last night about 7PM our time and on to Germany where he is now. However we have had additional news on him. His buttocks are both involved, his right hand had dammage (not sure what) and his burns are about 20-25% of his body, his right had is also injured. He is on a ventilator and is considered critical but stable. We "think" he's on the ventilator mostly because of the meds he is on and being kept pretty much unconscious. They also said he has feeling everywhere, but his spinal chord may have been rocked what ever that means. He has also a concussion and they have done a cat scan and found no bleeding in his brain.

Well we were told yesterday it was 15% burns so it has got a little worse (what they tell us)as time has gone by.

Thanks for the prayers all,

Skip

Skip; I know this is hard for you and your wife, but I still hope ya'll can salvage a good Christmas out of it. We'll keep praying for your son and his family. Grantparents and understanding in-laws are a great thing to have around at times like this. Be there for your son and his family and know that we are here for you!

Your son being wounded in Iraq hits home with me - my son was among the first Marines to go into Iraq. He has been out three years now and just recently moved across the road from me.

My thoughts and prayers towards a complete recovery for your son - to have him safe and back home with you.

Skip, my family's prayers go to your son and the rest of your family on this Christmas Day. May his recovery be speedy and complete. Wishing you the best.

Skip, your son's name has been included into my family's prayers. We all wish the best of luck to him and hopefully a speedy and safe recovery. It really hits home how much these young men sacrifice in order for us to continue to enjoy the freedom we all have in the USA, which unfourtunately we all take for granted. Take care and continue to give us an update.

Skip...,
I am logging on for the first time since the news of your son was posted. I can not begin to tell you how my heart dropped when I read the news. I want you to know that I will include your son as well aw you and your family in my Mass intentions from this point on.

Skip, We will keep Randy in our prayers. It is great that he has feeling everywhere. And as for his spinal chord getting rocked, you just let me know when he gets back home and I will be glad to help both of you into the boat to make a fishing trip!:D
