It sounds like your son and my son were in the same boot camp. My son did very well on written tests while in boot camp, the only sailor to achieve 100% on written exam. Unfortunately, the Monday after Christmas, my son did a run while he had bilateral pneumonia and almost killed himself. He was in intensive care unit at North Chicago Hospital with a heart rate in the 160's, he had rhabdomyolisis, renal failure, a cpk of 77,000 and bilateral pneumonia. Now he is back on base receiving physical therapy and in charge of laundry. He says it is worse than prison there. We rarely get a phone call. His letters are with hope to be successful yet he is depressed at his circumstances. He is in ship 06 division 2341. He is building his strength back. He ran 4 laps without an elevation in his cpk, he had felt like he ran 12 laps, he was sent to the MD, a chest x-ray that showed his lung fields were inflamed. He was told this happens after someone has had a bad viral pneumonia. He was told by the MD to reduce his work-outs. I want him to come home. I am a nurse also and know he may have some permanent damage and fear greatly for his physical and mental health. He talks about fights that occur where he is at. There are two ships in the clinic, one where sailors will not be going back, just there to get well enough to return to society and the group he is in where they have opportunity to return. I appreciate communicating with you. I am so happy for you and your son who graduated boot camp Jan 29, 2010. My son would have been graduating that same day and going to AZ school in Mississippi. I wonder if they knew each other.
Again thank you for your time.
Take care and God bless.
Deeks, Sailor Mom
