Advice... Take a deep breath, BREATH and try to relax. I remember years ago, my son had an allergic reaction a med they gave him, he ended up in the hospital because he stopped breathing on deck. I ONLY knew of this from other navy moms. Their kids were writing letters and it was going across the Navy for Moms site. I did like you and began freaking out. Finally one of the Dr.s from the hospital called and said he is one tuff man, he can't wait to go back to battle stations.
I have been part of the military for many years and the one thing I have learned is...when something is truly wrong, you will hear about it. If it is by phone or in person. Ribs hurt like hell but they are minor injuries. You should relax and just be PROUD of him. Don't sound too upset or cry on the phone, we want ONLY POSITIVE things going thru these guys & gals heads during this time.
Take care, if you need to talk or cry or just vent my contact info was pm's to you. He will be fine, remember he is becoming one of United States Hero's. Take care.
