Prayers Needed for injured solder
« on: July 24, 2009, 09:40:28 PM »
Just received word that my cousins son stepped on a land mine in Afghanistan. He is alive, but lost his right leg, has a broken let leg and arm. He is still in country and will be transported to Germany ASAP. His mother got to talked to him on the phone. He was heavily sedated, but seemed to be in good spirits considering. Please add him and his family to your prayers.

On it now.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

Done and will do!

Not to diminish what you have said, but is this still considered life threatening or just the normal bad things that can happen after major trauma?

This will be a long time recovering and adjusting - let him know we care, and keep us informed.

The way his mother talked the worst was over and he was stable and awake. He will have a lot of recovering to do, with all the physical therapy and stuff. But at least they can do wonders now with prosthetics.

Prayers for both him and his family will go out. They will continue as you keep us updated. Could you please share his first name with us?

You got it.  Send him our encouragement to get back in the saddle during his PT.  He and his family have got a place in my prayers.
