Valerie and Nancy (Kylesmom).
Just want you to know I am praying for you adn both of your recruits. Colton has had set backs too and so I know the worry and fear you are going through, although we were lucky that his issues weren't discovered so close to graduation. My heart goes out to you and I am praying for you. Nancy, if there is anything besides prayer that I can do please do not hesitate to call me or let me know. I will send you a message with my phone. My heart is breaking for you and Kyle. Our kids put so much into this, and then when it all seems messed up we want to do everything we can to help. I pray
God gives you the knowledge to know what to do.
Tammy

I just got letters from my daughter in Ship 09, DIV 226 a few minutes ago. They were dated 6/13 and 6/15 - she said their final PFA is today. Please, please pray that she passes her run. She has had a rough road and been in BC since March 3rd and is exhausted. Her legs and hip hurt and is scared she won't make it. I'm praying I get no phone call. My heart is racing like there's no tomorrow. She has made that 1/5 mile run more than most and passed everytime. This will be her last, at least for a while. She sounds exhausted and upset. I'm not feeling too good right now and trying very hard to have positive thoughts and begging the Lord to carry her through this last week.

Kyles Mom; I would get the records and call GL's and tell them you need to fax them to the Dr's.. It is Monday and you have time to get this to them before Battlestations begin. They should just let him proceed with his progress and let him complete it as the paperwork is being shuffled to them. I am attaching an email that maybe you can get a quick response from: Or try calling his recruiter to see what other info you can get from him..
For personal and family related issues, please email RTC:

Kyle's mom - my heart is breaking for you and Kyle right now. I know how difficult this is for you and just want to let you know that WE are ALL praying for that "miracle" that God can make happen. He has been through more than most and deserves to make it through. There is so much love and support here for you and Kyle. I'm sure that all of us would be PROUD to call him one of our US Navy Sailors. {{{HUGS}}} to you - hang in there.

Take care and know your in my thoughts and prayers. Keep the faith! Love and hugs!

Kyles Mom: Miracles still happen.. I see them everyday!! I can not believe his step-mother.. It is a tragedy when someone scars a child for life. That is the most WICKED kind of EVIL... How can a parent be so gutless not to protect their child when someone is being so hurtful?? I know he was away but still.. It is so unfair that his all happened... I can not believe they would pull the carpet out from under him at this point, over something that was not diagnosed properly and that was influenced by someone that wanted him to disappear.. You are right on the over-medicating and mis-diagnose problem that is almost becoming an epidemic in our country.. After this is all said and done we need to start a campaign agaisnt this kind of injustice.. Nancy I am shutting my office door right now and getting on my knees... Please God reveal the truth to the GL's Dr's and let them release him back to his DIV!!!

Just got a letter from my girl. It was written last Tuesday. They got another round of shots (just like when they first got there) and she can't wait for Friday :)
Kyles Mom: Still keeping Kyle and you in my thoughts and prayers.
