Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 14, 2010 at 6:28pm: I don't think angie has ever said anything about being separated but who knows the dr. there and the pt department has really took good care of angie and thay seem to care about the kids that are injured your daughter is in good hands I think but i know the only thing that matters is when she's healthy and strong again and she only liked 13 days so maybe with a little luck and prayers from all of us and gods help she will be out before you know it and be stronger for it! I didn't get a letter today so i'm thinking angie is on her way to the end of bootcamp this was the first tuesday since shes been in RCU that i didn't get one.

Comment by cakemom on December 14, 2010 at 5:49pm: She went in on 11/20, her PIR was 12/3 and she said she could see them marching, and when she went to chow the day before PIR she saw her old shipmates- they were so happy and psyched. Then another day she was waiting for her rehab, and another girl told her how well her division had done with battlestations and how excited they were when they were finished. She just busted out crying-she was very happy for them but she couldn't help wishing she were there with them. Now that they are gone, she seems a little more resigned to her fate. I just got a letter that she is in Phase 2 now, so she feels good about that. She is really concerned that she not get separated, she said she feels like it could happen for any little thing.

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 10:51pm: angie also told me that the hardest day she has had was her original PIR date it was nov,19(division 901) while in RCU( that was a very long day for me to.) she has made alot of progress since that time and it sounds like your daughter has too what is her original PIR date and how long has she been on medical hold?

Comment by cakemom on December 13, 2010 at 9:56pm: I am so glad to hear that! I know Joan made some great friends in boot camp, that was part of her sadness when she was parted from them. I hope that she can make friends there in RCU too, it's the friendships that will help pull them through, when they can rely on each other for strength. I know she felt better when her crutches came off, so I agree that it gets better. The hardest thing for her was seeing and hearing about her division and how well they did on battlestations. Now that they are graduated she can focus on her now!

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 9:03pm: that gives me great hope that she has ajusted to what has happened to her that she is going to be fine i think that the first 2 or 3 weeks thay are there is the hardest and i know that is how it's been for angie.

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 8:58pm: my daughters name is angela i don't know if thay know each other but i'll ask as soon as i'm able to talk to her. i do know that she has made some lifelong friends there she tells me how everyone gets along and that she is with her Navy family and for me not to worry about her to much.
