By the grace of God they changed their minds and send him onto Landsthul. He received absolutely wonderful treatment and came out of it just fine. My daughter, who lives on base in Germany, was able to stay near the hospital in Landsthul. They are top notch and I know Rob is in good hands. Keep the faith!<BR/><BR/>I'm crying as I write this, probably because I remember the fear we all felt last Oct when we went through the pain and fear of seeing our loved one injured. Here in the states we don't stop to think how lucky we are when our families go to work and come home to complain about their day. We don’t stop to think that some people, those who protect our way of life, don’t get the same privilege of being able to come home each day to gripe about what a rough day they had. And they have rougher days than we could ever imagine. <BR/><BR/>Now, as my son in law prepares for a second tour of duty in 3 weeks, I feel your pain, fear and horror at the price Rob has had to pay for merely doing his job. I am sending all the best wishes out to him for a speedy recovery and to your family as well. I am so sorry this has happened.

I just PCSd from Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston where I was the Chief of Inpatient Physical Therapy for soldiers with similar injuries. It's possible his doctors may later recommend a transfer to BAMC if it is closer to home for you. We often took care of soldiers from the midwest. Anyway, I'm sure the doctors and therapists at Walter Reed will take excellent care of him, but let me know if I can be of any help (i.e. general rehab questions, San Antonio area, etc).<BR/><BR/>Matthew Larson, MPT, OCS, MDT<BR/>CPT, SP<BR/>Commanding<BR/>D CO WTRP, 30th AG<BR/>Fort Benning, GA<BR/>706-544-9260Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
