Help!  We got a call at 6:00 a.m. to both cell phones from the 847 area code.  We weren't able to get to the phones in time and no message was left.  I called the number and it was the medical facility.  Can anyone help me find out what is going on with my son?

Disneyfan1968 we are both here as new moms and can not find out anything, its is very frustating. Please share if you find out anything. I hear they call on Sundays and Dr. Visits are usually Tuesday and there are 4 stages to recovery. 1 recooperation, 2-3 Physical Therapy, 4 join back into a division.1 of the dad was ablt to help me out , his son just got out of RCU. Hang in there we will figure this out together.

To CTMOM, I know exactly how you feel. We are in the same boat. I will let you know if I get any info..

Comment by disneyfan1968 on February 1, 2013 at 6:12pm

Got a call last night that he is in Ship 4 due to stress fractures not in one but both legs. He was upset but was trying to hide it. He is 4 weeks away from finishing and now Im afraid he is going to give up because it has been so hard so far and this isnt going to help. I got a one minute phone call and have no clue what is going on. Very Frustrating. Said he will call Sunday, I hope he can.

Comment by gotattitudesd on January 31, 2013 at 1:43pm

I am trying to get some infomation on RCU. My daughter was set to graduate from Boot camp on 2/8/13, but was sent to RCU yesterday for a fracture in her knee. I have no info. They let her call and give her address and that was it.Any Help would be great.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

We got a call from our son last night. He fell and broke his elbow. He hasn't even been in boot for a week. (tomorrow is one week since he arrived) They want him to stay there for 12 weeks to heal and then go on to finish boot. He couldn't really talk to us, but it sounds like he doesn't want to stay. Does he have a choice? We encouraged him to stay and told him that he signed up to serve for 4 years, but 12 weeks is a long time for an 18 year old who is only a week in...I am beside myself and seeking any info/comfort I can get. We haven't told our families yet..
